Abstract | This is a general chemistry course aimed at first year undergraduate students in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-MAVT). | ||||
Objective | The aims of the course are as follows: 1) To provide a thorough understanding of the basic principles of chemistry and its application. 2) To develop an understanding of the atomic and molecular nature of matter and of the chemical reactions that describe their transformations. 3) To emphasize areas considered most relevant in an engineering context. | ||||
Content | Electronic structure of atoms, chemical bonding, molecular shape and bonding theory, gases, thermodynamics, chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, equilibria, solutions and intermolecular forces, redox and electrochemistry. | ||||
Literature | The course is based on "Chemistry the Central Science" by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy and Woodward. Pearson, 12th Edition (international edition). |
