Chemistry and stoichiometry

Course content

Fundamentals of general and inorganic chemistry including stoichiometry (structure of matter, chemical compounds, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, states of matter, solutions, oxidation and reduction); chemical reactions (general process, reaction types, description by formulae, stoichiometric calculations); chemistry of aqueous solutions (solubility and solvents), electrolytes and tonicity of solutions; organic chemistry (glossary and stereochemistry, classes of compounds, structure of important classes of natural matter).
