| Prerequisites: | The student should master the unit of mass (mg, g, kg) and volume (mL, L, m3, dm3, cm3). Also, the student must have basic knownledge on logarithms and exponential notation. Moreover, the student should be able to solve equations of first and second degree. |
| Target skills and knowledge: | The student should know and be able to understand reference concepts and propaedeutic arguments regarding:
• the atomic nature of matter; • the chemical bond; • the properties of gases and solutions; • the behavior of systems in chemical equilibrium, with particular reference to those in aqueous solution (acid-base and heterogeneous equilibria); • the periodic table of elements, and the chemistry of selected elements. |
| Examination methods: | Written test and laboratory report. |
| Assessment criteria: | A maximum of 27 points are awarded to written test.
A maximum of 3 points are assigned to the laboratory report. |
| Course unit contents: | (Numerical applications are required for the topics marked with an asterisk)
