General Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, transformations and properties of matter, as well as the study of the relationships between molecular and macroscopic quantities. The course includes the basic concepts of General Chemistry regarding the structure and states of matter, atomic theory, chemical bonds, solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium and electrochemistry.
It also includes the provision of basic knowledge in special topics of Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, such as nuclear chemistry as well as water and atmospheric chemistry. Specifically, it includes the following sections: Atomic Theory – Chemical Bonds – Solid State Chemistry – Semiconducting Materials – Chemical Kinetics and Chemical Equilibrium – Electrochemistry – Electrolytic Solutions – Plating – Composite Materials – Toxic Chemicals in Electrochemical Processes – Chemistry of Organic Coatings – Polymers – Photochemistry and Photoelectrochemistry – Principles of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology – Water Chemistry – Drinking Water – Desalination and Water Softening Techniques – Water Pollution – Marine Pollution – Marine Environmental Restoration after Maritime Accidents – Atmospheric Chemistry – Atmospheric Pollution.
The course also includes laboratory exercises related to electrochemistry and materials corrosion processes.
