Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide basic knowledge for understanding and interpret chemical phenomena that are typical found in engineering studies.

Program
Matter, substances, properties, system, phases. Properties and transformations. The quantitative basis. The relative atomic mass, molecular weight, mole, equivalent. Different expressions for concentrations. The atomic structure. The periodic system and periodic properties. The chemical bond. The ionic bond. The covalent bond and the molecular geometry; the valence bond theory and the LCAO theory. The chemical bond in metals and the electrical conductivity in materials. Structure properties relationships. The states of the matter. The chemical transformations with and without electron transfer. Some thermodynamic concepts: reversible and irreversible transformations. The chemical equilibrium. Homogeneous equilibria in the gas phase and in aqueous solution: acid – base theories, pH, hydrolysis, and buffers. The phase equilibrium. State diagrams for one and two components. The thermodynamics of electrochemical processes. Batteries, electrolysis and Faraday’s laws. Some concept in metal corrosion. Introduction to Chemical kinetics.
