Students would be introduced to Windows and office applications. This would enable them to write reports, analysis and presentations.
Students are given the practical aspects of principles taught. This includes the use of analytical instruments for elemental analysis.
This course provides students with a firm foundation and a general understanding of the various physical properties of chemical systems. Topics to be discussed will include: Thermodynamics (system, surroundings, work, heat energy; Laws of Thermodynamics, Hess’s Law, enthalpy of reactions, entropy, free energy changes), Chemical Kinetics (reaction rates, molecularity, order and rate constant, determination of reaction order, factors affecting rates of chemical reactions, and Transition State Theory) and Electrochemistry (types of electrochemical cells, standard electrode potentials, spontaneity of redox reaction, applications of cell measurements, and determination of thermodynamic functions, corrosion, and electrolysis).
This course introduces students to concepts in Waves, Optics, Electricity and Magnetism.
This course introduces students to the fundamentals of differential and integral calculus. It also covers their application to various chemical processing conditions.
This is a laboratory-based organic course, which introduces students to the practical aspects of Basic Organic Chemistry. It includes most of the basic separation processes.
This course introduces students to the basic concepts in organic chemistry. It covers molecular composition of structures, purification of organic compounds,
structural formulae and isomerism as well as Nomenclature.
This course builds on MAT 102. It introduces students to the concept of Differentiation and Integration.
This course aims at helping students to develop requisite laboratory skills in general chemistry. Laboratory work includes basic techniques of qualitative and quantitative measurements such as gravimetric, colorimetric, thermometric and selected volumetric methods of analysis. Practical exercises undertaken in this course include calibration of analytical balance and volumetric glassware (burette and pipette), conductivity and pH measurements, determination of molecular properties and solubility products, qualitative analysis of mixtures of two or more metallic salts, and thermochemistry.
The main thrust of this course is to assist students to develop an appreciation for the relationship between chemistry and our environment. It is also aimed at providing students with a strong background to those theories and chemical principles that are particularly relevant to chemistry and fundamental understanding of science. This course is designed to provide students with a general overview of the concepts and principles underlying chemical reactions, stoichiometry, bonding, molecular shapes and structures, gas theories, and forces within liquids and solids that are fundamental basis of chemistry.
