Abstract

This course intends to provide students with basic skills in the field of chemical calculations. This includes, among other things, the balancing of reaction equations, working with different types of chemical compositions as well as the discussion of chemical reactions with regard to conversion, yield and energy conversion. The second part of the course deals with chemical equilibria. The focus is on calculations in connection with solubility and pH calculations as well as calculations on the subject of coupled equilibria.
