The Aim of the Module: To present the physical and descriptive inorganic and organic aspects of introductory chemistry.
The Content continues from your 195 course, and includes: Phase equilibria and colligative properties, gas and solution equilibria, pH and buffers, electrochemistry, thermochemistry and thermodynamics and kinetics, Introduction to organic chemistry, nomenclature, formation of different organic functionalities and reactions thereof, stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms.
This module is available only to students registered for the Augmented stream of the BSc4. It covers the syllabus of CHEM120 but, in addition, includes a substantial amount of supplementary material and tuition designed for students who are under-prepared for university-level studies to a maximum of 160 hours.
