Tavoitteet

Upon completion of the course, the student is able to interpret and explain basic chemical phenomena. The student is able to use the periodic table and other most common chemistry tables. The student is able to write and read reaction equations and calculate related calculations. The student is able to calculate the concentrations of mixtures and knows the factors that affect the balance of a chemical reaction. The student is able to distinguish acids and bases from each other on the basis of chemical structure and knows the properties of acids and bases and is able to perform basic calculations related to them.
