This is a general chemistry course aimed at first year undergraduate students in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-MAVT) and graduate students in the Department of Architecture (D-ARCH).

Basic techniques of experimental chemistry are learned.The experiments include analytical and preparative duties. Selected synthesis are carried out and chemical substances are analysed. The handling of gaseous substances in the laboratory is practiced.

This practical course provides an introduction to elementary laboratory techniques.The experiments cover a wide range of techniques, including analytical and synthetic techniques (e. g. investigation of soil and water samples or the preparation of simple compunds). Furthermore, the handling of gaseous substances is practised.
