Abstract
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).
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 its transformations. 3) To emphasize areas considered most relevant in an engineering context.
Content
Electronic structure of atoms, chemical bonding, molecular geometry and bonding theories, intermolecular forces, gases, thermodynamics, chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, equilibria, liquids and solutions, acids and bases, redox- and electrochemistry.
Resources
