What information you get from the periodic table ?
How the chemical bonding affects on the behavour of matter ?
What information you get from phasediagram and what information give gas laws ?
How you perform stoichiometric calculations and what kind of reactions are acid-base reactions and combustion reactions ?

Part II
How you calculate enthalpy changes, free energy changes and entropy changes in chemical reactions ?
How you can use electrochemical series ?
How the steam generation chemistry and chemical treatment programs give methods preventing scales and corrosion.
