Training objectives
- The course of "Laboratory of general and inorganic chemistry" is divided into two parts:
Part 1: the student will acquire the basic concepts of stoichiometric calculation in addition to an appropriate scientific technical language; will use the IUPAC and traditional nomenclature.
Part 2 (second semester): the student will become familiar with the basic equipment and techniques of a chemical laboratory; he will learn to use chemicals safely; apply stoichiometric calculation in the proposed laboratory experiences; learn how to collect and process experimental data. Prerequisites
- All the topics covered in the course of "Fundamentals of stoichiometry" are considered acquired.
Course programme
- The following topics will be:
1. Chemical reactions and stoichiometric calculations.
2. Solutions: expressions of concentration of a solution; mixtures of solutions and dilutions; volumetric analysis.
3. Colligative properties of solutions.
4. Chemical equilibrium: meaning and use of the equilibrium constant.
5. Equilibria in aqueous solution; acid-base equilibria; salt hydrolysis; buffer solutions.
6. Heterogeneous equilibria: product of solubility and selective precipitation.
7. Electrochemistry: electrochemical cells; electrolytic cells. Didactic methods
- Blackboard, power point presentations, multimedia material.
We also remind you that the professor will be followed by a tutor with whomthe students will be able to confront and practice, according to methods and timing to be agreed with the tutor. Learning assessment procedures
- The exam includes a written test lasting 2 hours in which the resolution of stoichiometry exercises are required. The evaluation in thirtieths, will contribute to the 70% of the grade of the entire course.
They will be pre-appealed in January and February, before entering the laboratory. Reference texts
- The contents can be deepened in the following textbooks:
Chimica – Kotz, Treichel et al. Edises.
I. Bertini, C.Luchinat, F.Mani, Enrico Ravera - Stoichiometry - An introduction to the study of chemistry - 6th edition, Casa Editrice Ambrosiana (Zanichelli).
The topics covered are however available in any university text of General Chemistry.
