Entry requirements

Completed course Chemical Principles I or Basic chemistry, 10 credits or corresponding

Learning outcomes

After the course, the student should be able to

• relate intermolecular forces to the properties of mixtures and solutions
• describe the properties of surface active agents and account for the driving force for self associating systems
• account for important concepts to describe different types of transport processes in solution and carry out simple calculations on the corresponding properties
• carry out laboratory work in a correct and safe way and carry out simpler risk and security assessments
• document laboratory work in laboratory journal and oral/in writing account for the results of the laboratory session
• give examples of how parts of the course relate to activities within society and industry with relevance for the education
• describe how the content of the course has importance for man, the environment and society

Content

Intermolecular forces, gases, liquids and solids, surface tension surface active substances, conductivity diffusion, viscosity, and sedimentation. The importance of hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonds for self associating system. Laboratory methodology. The application of chemical substances in industry and society.

Instruction

Lectures, lessons, laboratory sessions and seminars

Assessment

Written examinations are organised at the end of the course and/or during the course and corresponds to 3 credits. The laboratory classes including chemistry profile/assignments correspond to 2 credits. To pass final grades is required that all parts have been assessed passed. The final grade corresponds to a weighted sum of the results of the written examination and the laboratory sessions.
