General Chemistry and Chemical Sources of Energy
Denna kurs riktar sig till framtida civilingenjörer inom energisystemområdet. Kursen presenterar på ett tydligt och konsekvent sätt de viktigaste principerna i grundläggande kemi. Teoretisk undervisning kompletteras med praktiska laborationer som visar hur teoretiska principerna kan omsättas i praktiska energisparande åtgärder.
Kemikunskaper är mycket centrala för civilingenjörer inom energisystem området eftersom de är nödvändiga för att bygga vidare kunskap inom energiutvinning, värmeisolering och klimatanpassning av byggnader, energilagring, omsättning, förvaltning och förbrukning, samt inte minst för att kunna hantera energisystemens miljöpåverkan. Förutom ämneskunskap inom kemi ger kursen dig verktyg för kritiskt tänkande och ett vetenskapligt förhållningssätt, till ditt fortsätta, livslånga lärande även efter kursens slut.
Kursen behandlar energiprinciper bakom kemiska förlopp och består av två delar. Del 1, kemisk energilära behandlar grundprinciper för energiomsättning i naturen (kemisk termodynamik och kinetik), medan del 2, kemiska energikällor även kallad kemisk jämviktslära, behandlar olika typer av kemiska processer och visar huruvida de kan ge upphov till hållbara energikällor och hur de kan användas för att göra energisystem mer miljövänliga.
Kursens genomförande inkluderar föreläsningar, kollokvier, laborationer samt grupparbeten där du får möjligheten att få kontakt med aktuella kemiska frågeställningar inom energiområdet.

Knowledge corresponding to general eligibility including Ma D, Fy B, Ke AObjectives
The objective of the course is to provide student with insight into the energy principles behind chemical reactions in the industrial and in natural systems and background necessary for treating the chemical equilibria in those systems.
After completion of the course the student should
know the names, chemical formulae and properties of the most important inorganic compounds present in nature (acids, bases and salts) and the reactions they take part of
be able to identify most common chemical reactions constituting the background of the processes within the area of energy production and their environmental effects, and be also able to give a quantitative descriptions of the energy transformations in the systems, where these processes occur
be able to give quantitative estimations of the concentration changes in most common chemical processes on the basis of the data on changes in the related energy functions
be able to carry out chemical experiments according to provided techniques and give written account for the results obtained
be able to carry out quantitative determinations of concentrations using electrical and optical instruments and provide statistic evaluation of the results obtained

The examiner can provide an adapted assessment to students entitled to study support for students with disabilities following a decision by the university. Examiners may also issue an adapted examination or provide an alternative way for the students to take the exam.
If this syllabus is withdrawn, SLU may introduce transitional provisions for examining students admitted based on this syllabus and who have not yet passed the course.
For the assessment of an independent project (degree project), the examiner may also allow a student to add supplemental information after the deadline for submission. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Other information
The right to participate in teaching and/or supervision only applies for the course instance the student was admitted to and registered on.
