General chemistry with elements of analytical and physical chemistry

The curse describes the main principles of chemistry and is divided into following topics:

1. Matter and Measurements, Main Laws and Principles of Chemistry

2. Atom, The Atomic Theory, atomic orbitals and electron configuration, Periodic Table

3. Chemical nomenclature

4. Chemical bonds, hybridization, VSEPR theory

5. Chemical Formulas and Equations,

6. Kinetics, reaction rate, types of chemical reactions

7. Chemistry of solutions, types of concentrations, dissociation, hydrolysis, solubility

8 Acids, bases, theories of acids and bases

9. pH, buffers

10. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions

11. Gases

12. Thermochemistry and Thermodynamics

13. Electrochemistry

14. Transition metals and complexes

15. Bioinorganic chemistry

The laboratory covers the following issues:

1. Standard operations in the lab: weighing, pipetting, preparation of the solutions, dilution, calculations of concentration,

2. Titration methods and indicators (acid-base titration, water hardness determination using titration)

3. Entropy and effect on Spontaneity. Determination of the entropy changes in the isolated system during melting of ice.

4. Phase equilibrium of liquid–liquid ternary systems. Determining solubility isotherm (binodal curve) of ternary systems: water – toluene – methanol, water – toluene – acetone

5. Nernst’s distribution law. Quantitative determination of the distribution of benzoic acid between two immiscible solvents and to provide the partition equation

6. Conductometric titration. Assignation of the conductometric titration curves for different systems and the quantitative analysis of the obtained samples

7. Molar refraction in physicochemical studies

8. Spectrophotometric determination of the dissociation constant of p-nitrophenol

9. Determination of the reaction order

10. Determination of the specific surface area
