| Module objectives/intended learning outcomes | Students are able to analyze the differences among various acid-base concepts through individual and group assignments by relating them to specific cases in chemical reactions.Students are able to explain the concept of redox and its applications in industry and daily life, both independently and in groups, by discussing relevant case studies.Students explain the thermodynamic and electrochemical aspects of metal extraction, corrosion, and battery technology through individual or group assignments by analyzing relevant case studies. |
| Content | This course provides students with foundational knowledge to understand acid-base reactions and properties based on the Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, and Lewis theories; the reactions and characteristics of hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB): classifying Lewis acids and bases and their applications in inorganic compound synthesis; classifying hard and soft acids and bases and estimating the acidity level of acids; applying the HSAB concept in the synthesis of inorganic compounds; predicting the outcome of acid-base (neutralization) reactions; and conducting experiments related to acid-base reactions (neutralization). Furthermore, the course covers acid-base chemistry applications; redox reaction concepts in metal extraction, electrochemistry, and other redox reactions: distinguishing between reduction and oxidation reactions, as well as disproportionation and comproportionation reactions; describing redox processes in metal extraction via element substitution (based on the electrochemical series), reduction methods (using C, Al, Mg, Na), and electrolysis; predicting the outcomes of redox reactions; understanding the application of redox concepts in daily life and industry. In terms of thermodynamic aspects, the course discusses the extraction of elements through the reduction of metal oxide ores (via chemical reduction and electrolysis) and the oxidation of halogen elements; students also learn to use Ellingham diagrams and the Nernst equation to explain thermodynamic principles. |
