CK1285 Chemical Equilibrium 5.0 credits

The course focuses on a quantitative analysis of acid / base, gas, distribution, solubility, coordination and redox equilibria. The course aims to give a general understanding of how equilibria affect the composition of a system. As examples natural cycles and industrial processes will be discussed. How the equilibrium concept can be practically utilized to influence a reaction will be exemplified practically in inorganic labs.

Intended learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

  • Describe a chemical system at equilibrium using relevant equations and solve the system of euqations to determine the properties of the chemical system.
  • Independently plan and perform wet chemical work in accordance with standard procedures for safe handling of chemicals and apply the equilibrium concept.
