Construction chemistry (5 cr)

Objective

Part I:
You understand the structure of material beginning from the atom level.
You understanding the information given by the periodic system of elements and the chemical bonding.
You understanding the chemistry of states and the gas laws.
You can draw up a reaction equation, understand stoikiometry and can apply knowledge to acid-base and to combustion reactions.
