Description
Aims:
To provide engineering students with a theoretical and practical understanding of the basic concepts of inorganic chemistry, including i) what are molecules; ii) how do different molecules react with each other; iii) how does one need to run those reactions on an industrial scale.
Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this module, the students should:
- Have an understanding of atomic and molecular structure in the context of the periodic table and underlying chemical bonds;
- Understand the role of acids, bases and ions in the aqueous solution and determine the acidity of a chemical;
- Calculate redox potential of a given reaction, understand the basic principles of electrochemical devices, and identify their energy efficiency;
- Be familiar with most of the common elements and their compounds;
- Know how to use those compounds in reactions;
- Translate a chemical reaction into an industrial reaction
Synopsis:
- Atoms: mass, isotopes and structures
- Molecules: bonds and structures
- Acids, Bases and ions
- Oxidation and reduction
- Elements: a map of periodic table
