The course aims to provide knowledge of the fundamental principles of general and inorganic chemistry and the ability to apply this knowledge to the solution of simple general chemistry problems, with particular reference to the environmental sphere. In particular, the teaching objectives are the acquisition of cultural skills, such as the knowledge of chemical terminology in terms of formulas and structures and the familiarity of concepts such as the chemical bond, chemical balance and acidity / basicity. Objectives of the course are also the acquisition of methodological skills, and the ability to perform simple calculations inherent in chemical reactions.

Type of delivery of the course
Frontal teaching, laboratory,and exercises. In case of Covid emergency extension, will be evaluated the possibility of distance learning.Type of evaluation
Written and oral exam. Written test, duration 3 hours: 3 stoichiometry exercises (3 exercises, 10 points each for a total of 30 points). It is possible to take 2 exoneration tests, if the individual assessments are equal to or greater than 15/30 and the average of the assessments is equal to or greater than 18/30 you are admitted to the oral exam (exempted from the written test). Oral exam: oral interview that focuses on the theoretical aspects of the course. Having acquired skills in: writing brute formulas and the structure of ternary compounds of the main elements of the periodic table - pH calculation - properties of aqueous solutions - concepts of quantitative reactions and chemical equilibrium are considered essential requirements for passing the exam.
