General and Inorganic Chemistry and Stoichiometry

The course is meant to provide a solid ground in the basic concepts and facts of chemistry, particularly those needed for a successful understanding of other subjects for which general chemistry is a prerequisite. Topics covered within the course will include: structure of atoms and molecules, chemical bond, chemical reactions, chemical equilibrium, electrochemistry, thermodynamic and kinetic outlines. Methods to solve stoichiometry problema will be treated. Primary goal of the course is to provide students with tools to discuss on the chemical and physical changes of matter.

The expected learning outcomes for the students will be the achievement of the ability to recognize chemical compounds and explain their reactivity and physical properties based on their structure, correctly write and identify chemical reactions, Students are expected to understand and solve stoichiometry problems. Finally students are expected to discuss topics coverd within the course with a proper scientific language.
