DESCRIPTION

Together with Chemistry 1A, this unit is a required prerequisite for those students intending to major in Chemistry and for those intending to proceed to second-year chemistry. It provides students with fundamental knowledge and concepts in inorganic, physical, analytical, and organic chemistry, with applications in both the physical and biological sciences. Topics include equilibrium and acid-base chemistry, chemical kinetics, coordination chemistry, separation techniques, the chemistry of organic functional groups and an introduction to lipids, carbohydrates and proteins. Laboratory sessions are designed to increase students' manipulative skills and, where possible, to reinforce the lecture program.

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas. Units delivered in Transnational Education (TNE) Programs have a campus identifier of A Hangzhou, F Fuzhou, G Shanghai, J Indonesia, K KDU Malaysia, Q Kuwait or Z New Zealand.

Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units - campuses A, F, G, J, K, Q and Z click here for more information.
