Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of the chemical nomenclature, periodic table of elements and fundamental principles of chemical sciences at the high school level.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives supported by learning outcomes
The goal of the course is to acquaint students with the basics of chemistry, chemical technology and material chemistry. The subject summarizes and explains basic technical knowledge and concepts of general, inorganic and organic chemistry. Following is the application of basic theoretical knowledge in selected areas of material chemistry and industry. The student is able to solve basic problems in chemistry and is familiar with the application potential of individual sub-areas after passing the course. The course is conceived as a lecture with practical exercises of the subject. The course ends with a written test or an oral exam.
Learning outcomes
The student is acquainted with the theoretical bases and the structure of chemistry and understands terms such as atom, molecule, bond, reaction, acid/base and basic nomenclature of inorganic and organic substances. The student acquires deepened knowledge in the fields of material chemistry, such as metals, building materials, high-molecular substances, paints and pigments and fuel. In these areas, the student understands the chemical nature of the actions which are normally applied. Student is further acquainted with principles of basic instrumentation in chemical laboratory.
Syllabus
  • 1. Introduction to chemistry, basic description of the atom and its properties, periodic table, theory of chemical bonds, classification of bonds (covalent, ionic, hydrogen bridge), interaction between molecules. 2. Chemical reactions and their classification, energetic reaction coloration, course of reactions, catalysis. 3. Acid and base theory (Brønsted, Lewis), dissociation constant, pH, concentration expression, solubility product. Classification of solvents, their meaning and use, polarity, (a)protic solvents. 4. Fundamentals of nomenclature and reactivity of inorganic and organic compounds, types of reactions (oxidation, reduction, neutralization, substitution, addition, elimination). 5. Metal, semi-metal, alkaline metals, alkaline earth metals, definition, meaning, utilization (structure, conductivity, potential, etc.). Chemical processes in the production of iron, steel, metal alloys. Passivation and corrosion of metals (Fe, Al, Zn, Cu ...) 6. Chemical processes in the production and use of building materials: lime, cement, concrete (hardening), plaster, glass. 7. Chemistry of high-molecular substances (monomer, oligomer, polymer). Preparation, properties and utilization (packaging materials, plastics, insulation materials, paints, binders, sealants, rubber). 8. Colors and pigments. Design, production, division, utilization. Coloring and finishing of materials. 9. Fuels, raw material base (oil, natural gas, coal, renewable resources). Production of petrol and diesel (cracking), octane number, pollutants, emissions/immissions. 10. Overview of basic instrumentation in the chemical laboratory (principles). Study of structure of molecules (NMR, MS, IR, RTG ...) and materials surfaces (microscopy, AFM, SEM / TEM, XPS ...)

Teacher's information
Attendance in lessons is defined in a separate internal standard of ITB (Evidence of attendance of students at ITB). It is compulsory, except of the lectures, for full-time students to attend 70 % lesson of the subjet in a semester. If the student does not reach 70 points, the student has the opportunity to apply for an oral examination in agreement with the teacher.
The course is also listed under the following terms winter 2012, summer 2013, winter 2013, summer 2014, winter 2014, summer 2015, winter 2015, Summer 2016, winter 2016, winter 2017, winter 2018, winter 2019.
