Teaching Staff
RAFFAELE BONOMOLearning Objectives
The task of this lecturing of General and Inorganic Cemistry is giving the students the first notions of Chemistry which will constitute the scientific-cultural backgorund necessary to follow the advanced chemical courses of next years.
Course Structure
The way of proposing the cours will occur trough lectures, exercises on the points of program and laboratory experiences which students have to write a report about.
Detailed Course Content
1. Ionic euilibria in aqueous solution: solubility of salts and constant of the solubility product.
2. Little elementary thermodynamics and thermochemistry: State variables,the first law od thermodynamics, capacità termiche molari, misura del calore, Legge di Hess ed entalpie di reazione, II principio della Termodinamica , III principio della Termodinamica ed entropie di reazione, energia libera, relazione tra l’energia libera e la costante di equilibrio.
3. Electrochemistry: conductivity of aqueous solutions, electrolysis, Faraday's laws, chemical batteries and normal potentials, use of the redox potentials for the prevision of a redox chemical reaction, overpotential and discharge potentials.
4. Inorganic Chemistry: Hydrogen and elements of s group , alakaline and alkaline earth metals i, p group elementsp: 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th an 7th groups. Noble gases. LIttle ouytlines on the chemistry of transition elementes.Chemical behaviour of the first series of treansition elements :Chromium, Manganese, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper and Zinc.
