    Synopsis
    This module introduces student This module intends to provide the student with an
    appreciation of what chemistry is and why it is important. It
    will concentrate on the basic concepts underpinning
    chemistry and consider the wide variety of chemical
    processes that influence our daily lives. The course will be
    delivered mainly by traditional lecture and regular tutorials
    and the practicals are designed to illustrate and augment the
    material. The assessment will include two in-class tests
    (15% each), laboratory work (20%) to improve students’
    manipulative skills and one formal examination (50%).

    Outline Syllabus  Vocabulary, formulae & balancing equations


     Moles, volumetric & gravimetric analysis
     The periodic table

     Structure of the atom


     Kinetics & equilibria
     Introduction to thermodynamics
     Organic compounds – their nomenclature, preparation
    and properties,
     Polymers – definitions and types of polymers
     Spectroscopy

    Learning outcomes

     Knowledge and understanding Upon successful completion of the module, students will:
    a. formulate balanced chemical equations including
    molar calculations
    b. appreciate the rate and extent of reactions, i.e.
    kinetics and equilibria
    c. recognise different types of bonding and state when
    and why they occur
    d. apply standard nomenclature to a selection of organic
    compounds and discuss reactions they undergo.

     Abilities The student will be able to:


    e. demonstrate the relationship between the chemical
    properties of a compound and the reactivity
    f. discuss basic physical, inorganic and organic
    chemistry and the inter-relationship
    g. effectively plan and safely undertake basic chemical
    experiments.

    Assessment Strategy

    Formative
    Students
    Assessment Tutorial sessions will provide formative experience of
    exam-style questions. A formative test will be conducted
    several weeks prior to the first summative mid-module test.
    A formative practical report will be used to give students
    experience and feedback on laboratory report writing
    protocol.
    Summative Assessment

     Assessment Tasks Coursework will consist of practical reports and two


    mid-term tests. Examination will consist of a final
    two hour exam.

    Coursework
    50%
    [2 tests (15% each MA, NTR)
    2 practical assessments – reports or
    online exercises (20%, NMA, NTR)]
    Learning Outcomes: Test (a-f);
    practicals (a-g)

    Examination – 2hr (MA, NTR)

    eligible for tutor referral)

     Assessment Criteria Students will be required to demonstrate that they have a


    sound understanding of basic chemical principles through
    submitted coursework, practical application and in written
    examination.

    Learning Strategy Lectures will be used to deliver the majority of the material,
    supported by tutorials and laboratory sessions. The
    laboratory sessions will also facilitate the acquisition of
    basic chemical laboratory skills. To assist those students
    which require a slightly higher level of support there is also
    an optional weekly ‘drop-in’ session that they may attend.
    This session is a flexible forum for the students to discuss
    any material they may be finding challenging with a
    member of staff.
