Introduction

Ingen ut over opptakskrav.

Required preliminary courses

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student:

  • can describe the structure of the periodic system.
  • can describe structure of atoms and structure og chemical bond in molecules, gases, liquids and solids.
  • can describe the main types of chemical reactions.
  • can describe the main principles of reaction kinetics, and the relationship between kinetics and equilibrium.
  • can explain the terms enthalpy, entropy, and free energy and describe how they provide the connection between thermodynamics, electrochemistry and chemical equilibrium.
  • can explain the behavior of galvanic cells and electrochemical cells.

Skills

The student:

  • can name simple chemical compounds.
  • can balance reaction equations.
  • can perform stoichiometric calculations and determine concentrations and partial pressure at chemical equilibrium.
  • can perform basic calculations within reaction kinetics, thermodynamics (enthalpy, entropy and free energy) and electrochemistry (galvanic cells and electrolysis).
  • can perform simple chemical reactions and laboratory tests with both qualitative and quantitative determinations.
  • can write and explain the results of the laboratory work in the journal, report and spreadsheet.

General competence

The student:

  • can collaborate in groups both with practical and written work.
  • have insight into the proper handling of chemicals on the basis of HSE data and from laboratory experience.

Teaching and learning methods

Forelesninger og regneøvinger med utstrakt bruk av programvare og koding på datamaskin. Øvingene kombinerer bruk av blyant og papir og regneverktøy på datamaskiner under veiledning av faglærer og/eller studentassistent.

Course requirements

Følgende arbeidskrav må være godkjent for å framstille seg til vurdering/eksamen:

To av tre gruppeoppgaver hvor

  • hver gruppe skal bestå av 1 til 4 studenter.
  • hver gruppeoppgave leveres som en rapport på 8-15 sider
  • hver oppgave kan leveres på nytt én gang dersom den ikke blir godkjent.

Formålet med arbeidskravet er for studentene å få praktisk erfaring med prosjektarbeid og kombinerer flere av læringsutbyttene i arbeidet.

Assessment

Exam form: Individual written exam, 3 hours.

The exam result can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, oral examination may be used instead of a written exam. If oral exams are used for resit and rescheduled exams, the exam result cannot be appealed.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

Gradert skala A-F.

Grading scale

To interne sensorer. Ekstern sensor brukes jevnlig.

Examiners

Emnet bygger på

  • MAMO1100 Innføring i modeller og beregninger
  • DAFE1000 Matematikk 1000
  • DAPE2000 Matematikk 2000 med statistikk
