TB0023 Chemistry for Technical Preparatory Year, online with meetings on campus I 9.0 credits

• Models and theories of the structure and classification of matter
• Chemical binding and its effect on for example existence, properties and fields of use for organic and inorganic substances.

Reactions and changes

• Acid-base reactions including the notation of pH and the buffer effect.
• Redox reactions including electrochemistry.
• Precipitation reactions.
• Energy conversion at phase transformations and chemical reactions.

Stoichiometry

• Interpretation and writing of formulae for chemical compounds and reactions
• Amount of substance proportions, concentrations, limiting reagents and yield at chemical reactions.

Analytical Chemistry

• Qualitative and quantitative methods for chemical analysis, for example reagent and titration.

• Laboratory exercises
  Be able to carry out experimental studies on parts of the course content with satisfactory precision and in a safe and environmentally satisfactory way, and process, report and interpret results and give an account of this, both orally and in writing.
  (Intended learning outcome #1 is assessed in the course item ”Laboratory work” .)
• Models
  Understand and explain the chemical and physical properties of different matter, based on models of the structure of the atom and substances and by means of the periodic system.(Intended learning outcome #2 is assessed in the course item ”Written exam”.)
• Reactions
  Have knowledge of different types of chemical reactions and be able to write balanced chemical equations for these.
  (Intended learning outcome #3 is assessed in the course item ”Written exam”.)
• Calculations
  Be able to carry out chemical calculations for substances in different aggregation forms and solutions and for chemical reactions.
  (Intended learning outcome #4 is assessed in the course item ”Written exam” .)

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• LAB1 - Laboratory work, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TENA - Written exam, 7.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Final grades are given if all examination items are passed. The final grade is based on the points in the written examination.
