Learning Objectives
General Chemistry is a one semester course designed to provide a survey on the fundamental principles of chemistry. In particular during the course will be analyzed the arguments that more are related to the field of industrial engineering like for example: chemistry reactions and their equilibrium conditions, metals and corrosion, electrochemistry, thermochemistry.
Prerequisites
none
Teaching Methods
About 70/80% of the time of the course will be spend in frontal lessons while the remaining practice exercises that will help students in preparing their final exam
Type of Assessment
The final exam will be an open answer test. Student that will reach 18/30 or above can decide to attend the oral exams too.
Course program
Methods and Measurement; The Composition and Structure of the Atom; ; quantum theory and electronic structure of atoms; Elements, Atoms, Ions and the Periodic Table; Structure and Properties of Ionic and Covalent Compounds; Calculations and the Chemical Equation; States of Matter: Gases and Solids; Reactions and Solutions; Chemical and Physical Change: Energy, Rate and Equilibrium; Charge-Transfer Reactions: Acids and Bases and Oxidation-Reduction; chemical kinetics
