Content (Syllabus outline)
An understanding of how nature and life is built by chemical compounds is central to the natural sciences. Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties and reactions. Some of the subjects covered in the course are: Biology and chemistry, SI-units, nomenclature, atoms and molecules, crystals, chemical bond, electronic structure, the periodic table, stoichiometry (mole, concentration, gas pressure), types of reactions, and chemical equilibrium (acids and bases, pH, buffers, titration, indicators, solubility). Heat and chemical reactions, water, solution chemistry, colligative properties, catalysis, electrochemistry, chemistry in everyday life, environmental protection and the various examples. The course contains 8 laboratory exercises, which illustrate chosen parts of the curriculum and introduces the student to practical laboratory skills (filtration, synthesis, evaporation, tittration, electrolysis..).
