Syllabus
The aim of this course is to introduce the student to the fundamental laws of chemistry and to their applications to biological sciences. The following arguments will be treated in detail: bases of stoichiometry, electronic structure of atoms, periodic properties of elements, chemical bonds, gases and gas laws, solutions, bases of thermodynamics, chemical equilibria and applications to acid-base, solubility and electrochemical equilibrium reactions.
