Study Guide

Objective

After completion of the course the student understands the essential concepts related to the structure of elements and compounds. He/she is also able to conduct basic calculations concerning the amount of substance, irreversible reactions, the contents of solutions and the pH of strong acids and bases. In addition, he/she is familiar with the behavior of element groups on a general level and with the most important organic compounds and their naming.

Content

1. Atomic structure, periodic table.
2. Chemical bonding.
3. Amount of substance, stoichiometry of compounds.
4. States of matter, simple calculations based on the ideal gas law.
5. Heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures, calculation of contents.
6. Chemical reaction equation, stoichiometry of reactions.
7. The concepts of acids and bases, the pH of strong acids and bases.
8. Chemistry of element groups.
9. Introduction to organic chemistry: types of compounds, functional groups, basics of naming.

Materials

Tekniikan kemia (Hänninen, Karppinen, Leskelä, Pohjakallio), 16. uudistettu painos (2022)

Teaching methods

Verkkokurssi, jossa käytetään Moodle-alustaa.
Lopputentti tehdään EXAM-tenttinä.

Exam schedules

Opiskelija varaa itse ajan EXAM-tenttiin. Tentti on saatavilla 1.3.-31.8.2024 välisenä aikana.

Jos et läpäise EXAM-tenttiä (saa vähintään 50 pistettä), voit opiskella lisää ja ilmoittautua uudestaan EXAM-tenttiin.

Evaluation scale

Assessment methods and criteria

Jokaisesta aihealueesta on Moodle-tentti (muodostuu puolet kurssin arvosanasta). Moodle-tenteistä voi saada yhteensä maksimissaan 150 pistettä. Kurssin lopuksi opiskelija tekee kampuksella EXAM-tentin, jonka maksimipistemäärä on 150 pistettä. EXAM-tentistä pitää saada vähintään 50 pistettä.
