Content
Chemical systems are governed by the interactions between molecules, their bonding and their reactivity. This unit will build on concepts introduced in level-1 chemistry. Topics will include the nature of chemistry, green chemistry, bonding, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, kinetics, equilibrium and control of chemical reactions. Examples will be drawn from biomedical science, food science and industrial applications.
Assessment
Minor assignment 10%, laboratory reports (5 x 10% each) 50%, major assignment 40%. To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit, students must achieve at least 50% in the laboratory component. Most assessments are due throughout the nine weeks after the intensive short course.
