General Chemistry

This course allows students to master acid-base balances, the preponderant reaction method, and the calculation of pH in the final state of chemical equilibrium as well as pH-metric titrations. In addition, notions about oxidants and reductants, the electrochemical cell, the type of electrodes, the calculation of the electromotive force and the capacity of the cell, the potential of the electrode through the Nernst equation as well as titration by oxidation-reduction reaction are covered. Students also learn the concept of heterogeneous equilibrium in aqueous solution, the effect of the common ion and complexation on solubility, complexation reactions and the influence of pH on solubility. Finally, this course allows analyzing potential-pH diagrams through examples along vertical and horizontal lines.
