KJM1040 – Physical and analytical chemistry I
Course content
Basic thermodynamical concepts, chemical equilibrium, phase equilibria and phase diagrams, gases and liquids, solutions and electrolyte solutions, potensiometry, classical analytical methods, quality assurance of measurements and instrumentation, statistical treatment of measured data.
Learning outcome
The student will achieve knowledge on fundamental chemical thermodynamics and on how to use this in experimental and theoretical work with chemical systems. The student is supposed to acquire laboratory skills to work independently with fundamental techniques and to gain knowledge on principles behind and construction of the instruments used.
Admission
Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.
If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures.
Prerequisites
Formal prerequisite knowledge
KJM1010 – Kjemiske prinsipper og strukturer (discontinued) or KJM1021 – Kjemisk struktur og reaktivitet (discontinued) and an approved laboratory course in KJM1020 – Organisk kjemi I (discontinued).
Recommended previous knowledge
KJM1020 – Organisk kjemi I (discontinued) or KJM1011 – Organic Chemistry 1 (discontinued) and a 10 study point course in mathematics.
Teaching
The course consists of 50 hours lectures, 50 hours exercises and a compulsory 30 hours laboratory course. The laboratory course and the 6 compulsory exercises (which are handed in together with the laboratory reports), have to be approved in order to obtain admittance to the final exam.
Examination
