Chemistry of Materials 2

About this subject

  • At the completion of this subject students will be able to:

    1. describe chemical equilibria and its application to acid-base properties
    2. describe the solid-state structures of metals and ionic compounds
    3. describe periodic trends in chemical properties in the elements
    4. understand the chemistry of the transition metals
    5. describe the reactions of organic functional groups including aromatics, alkenes and alkynes, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids, and carboxylic acid derivatives
    6. apply an understanding of phase equilibria to ideal and real solutions
    7. describe the use of conductance in the study of chemical systems
    8. describe chemical kinetics and apply the integrated rate law
    9. undertake university-level chemistry experiments in a scientific and safe fashion.

Entry requirements

Prior study

To help set you up for success before you start this subject, we suggest completing or having equivalent knowledge in:

Others

Students should have completed the OUA subject SCC100 or be taking it concurrently.

Additional requirements

  • Attendance requirements - Includes two days of mandatory laboratory exercises at RMIT University, Melbourne

Study load

0.125 EFTSL
This is in the range of 10 to 12 hours of study each week.

Equivalent full time study load (EFTSL) is one way to calculate your study load. One (1.0) EFTSL is equivalent to a full-time study load for one year.
