Digital Teaching
Access to all relevant documents and further communication about the course will take place via the moodle platform.
https://moodle.tu-darmstadt.de/course/view.php?id= 35666
The moodle course room will be available about one week before the event starts. You will receive an email on your stud.tu-darmstadt email address.

Course schedule:
The lecture topics will be worked on in a weekly rhythm in a blended learning concept. Materials and assignments are regularly provided for processing and are deepened and applied in voluntary exercises
Further information on this can be received at the first course date (on 20.10.) and via moodle.
The moodle course will be updated once a week after the lecture.

Course Contents
Structure of matter, periodic table, chemical bonds, chemical reaction equations, stoichiometry, mass and energy balances, reaction kinetics, gas reactions, chemical equilibrium, pH calculations, buffers, solubility products, titration, oxidation numbers, redox reactions, electrochemistry

Further Grading Information
[b]Qualification Goals / learning outcomes[/b]
After attending the course, the students are able to explain basic principles of general, inorganic chemistry as well as to name the areas of application for the topics covered. They are able to apply scientific methods to engineering problems.

After successful completion of the course, the students are able to:
•   make predictions about the atomic structure and basic chemical properties of the elements from their position in the periodic table of the elements.
•   correctly use the technical terms, nomenclature and symbols for naming elements, isotopes, ions, compounds and chemical reactions.
•   explain the physical properties of liquids, gases and solids.
•   apply the concept of the mole to quantitative chemical calculations and perform concentration calculations.
•   balance simple chemical reaction equations, identify and name the main types of chemical reactions and predict the reaction products.
•   carry out stoichiometric calculations taking into account significant figures and the correct use of units.
•   state the principles of kinetics and thermodynamics and apply them to simple chemical equilibria.
•   carry out calculations on quantities of matter and energy the moleof simple chemical reactions independently.

Official Course Description
Introduction to general chemistry and chemical calculation.
The basics of general chemistry are presented with the help of illustrative examples.
Exercises and bonus tasks can be worked on in the moodle course room.
Own online self-assessments (without grading) enable students to assess their learning status.

Risk Assessment
