05-BMG-CP1 Chemical Principles of Geosciences I

Students take a course in General Chemistry offered by lectures from the Chemistry Department. The module encompasses a lecture series and an exercise part, in which the theoretical topics from the lectures will be applied. The courses aim at providing geoscience students the required fundamental of inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. These fundamentals are key to using a range of methods in geoscience, to which the students will be exposed in the course of the B.Sc. program.

1) Refreshing basic knowledge in general chemistry
2) Recognizing the relations between chemical composition and properties of materials
3) Mastering the fundamentals required for attending of the advanced classes in the string of modules.
4) Mastering stoichiometric calculations
