Study Guide

Objective

The student will understand the concepts of inorganic and organic materials and the primary and secondary bonding and the effect of bonds on the main characteristics of materials. The student is able to wright and name chemical formulas of inorganic materials and can use them for calculating solvent concentrations and other basic chemical calculations.
The student is able to work safely in laboratory taking into consideration personal work safety, risks caused by chemical compounds and waste disposal.

Content

Basic theory of inorganic chemistry related to conservation and its materials.
Chemical bonding, formulas, concentration calculations and related calculations.
Accurate and safe work in laboratory, safety data sheets, waste disposal.

Location and time

Laboratory works are kept at Arabia campus, Hämeentie 135 D

Materials

Literature list and study hand out given by the lecturer.

Teaching methods

Tuition mostly in Finnish, lecture, contact teaching, guided assignments, laboratory works, independent work with literature.
Course might contain virtual lectures that can be recorded. If student doesn´t accept his name, voice or chat comments to be recorded, that must be announced to teacher via email by 1.10. kirsi.perkiomaki@metropolia.fi

No option

Student workload

The weekly working hours of a student is 1,5 cr which is equivalent to 40 hours of studies. 40 hours is formed from approx. 17 hours of contact studies with a lecturer. The remaining hours is spent by independent literature survey or practical work. 1 credit (cr) is equivalent to 27 hours (h).
