Description
This module introduces students to general fundamentals of chemistry, including atomic theory, bonding, solution concentration, pH, stoichiometry, oxidation and reduction.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Use the periodic table to define and describe the structure of atoms, ions and molecules.
2.
Interpret solution concentrations and perform calculations to illustrate the relationship between the units used.
3.
Balance chemical equations and calculate reaction yields.
4.
Identify and explain the difference between acidity and basisity of solutions.
5.
Solve a range of practical problems through the safe use of chemical equipment and techniques.
6.
Communicate by written and verbal means, the results of theory and practical based exercises in a logical and coherent fashion.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered full-time. It will include lectures, tutorials and laboratory practicals.THis approach is expected to address student learning needs. Moodle will be used as a repository of educational resources and as a means of assessment.
Module Assessment Strategies
Students will be assessed using the Moodle learning platform and a range of Multiple Choice Questions. Further assessment methods include laboratory performance and end of year examination.
The student must reach an assigned gate (mark) in the final exam and achieve 40% overall in order to pass the module.
Repeat Assessments
Students may repeat Continuous Assessment and / or Final Theory Exam as required

The eleventh edition was carefully reviewed with an eye toward strengthening the content available in OWLv2, end-of-chapter questions, and updating the presentation. Nomenclature changes and the adoption of IUPAC periodic table conventions are highlights of the narrative revisions, along with changes to the discussion of d orbitals. In-text examples have been reformatted to facilitate learning, and the accompanying Interactive Examples in OWLv2 have been redesigned to better parallel the problem-solving approach in the narrative. New Capstone Problems have been added to a number of chapters. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
