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 substances and account for the driving force for selfassociating systems.
• account for important concepts to describe various types of transport processes in solution and carry out simple calculations on corresponding properties
• carry out laboratory work in a correct and safe way and carry out simpler risk and security assessments
• Document laboratory work in a 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 course content has importance for man, the environment, and society

Content

Intermolecular forces and effects on freezing point depression, boiling point, gases, liquids and solid substances, surface tension, surface active substances, conductivity, diffusion, viscosity and sedimentation. The importance of hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds for self associating systems. Laboratory methodology. The usage in industry and society of chemical substances.

Instruction

Lectures, problem solving sessions, laboratory sessions and/or seminars.

Assessment

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