Inorganic chemistry
(objectives)
LEARNING OUTCOMES AND COMPETENCES The course aims to provide students with an introduction to the language and methodology of studying chemical phenomena of a general nature. The course, both through lectures and through exercises, intends to provide the student with the elements to be able to write the structural formulas of the main inorganic compounds and the related nomenclature, use the mole and molar ratios in chemical reactions, know the fundamental concepts of chemical thermodynamics for the study of the states of aggregation of matter, chemical solutions and equilibria with particular attention to acid-base and precipitation equilibria, also knowing the fundamental concepts of chemical kinetics. The knowledge of these concepts is essential to undertake the study of the subsequent courses that characterize the degree course.
Expected learning outcomes At the end of the course the student will have to show: 1) Knowledge and understanding: know the fundamental principles of General Chemistry to describe matter and its properties: the atomic structure, the properties of the elements and their ability to form compounds, molecular structures, chemical reactions, energy exchanges, states of matter, chemical kinetics, equilibria in solution, acid-base properties. 2) Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: having acquired application skills with reference to the balancing of reactions, stoichiometric calculations and problem solving on colligative properties, chemical equilibria, acid-base equilibria and the solubility product 3) Autonomy of judgment: to be able to independently evaluate and solve problems concerning the course contents. 4) Communication skills: having developed a good oral and written exposition capacity of the concepts acquired 5) Learning skills: being able to deepen the topics in different contexts and independently c)
