Welcome to Apply Basic Chemistry. This course provides learners with the essential knowledge and practical skills needed to understand and apply basic chemical principles in laboratory, industrial, and everyday contexts. Throughout the course, students will develop competencies in performing chemical reactions, interpreting chemical processes, and applying analytical techniques while following laboratory safety and environmental protection practices.
The course is organized into three units. Unit 1: Operate Chemical Reactions for Inorganic Compounds covers the classification, properties, and reactions of inorganic compounds, including writing and balancing chemical equations, acid-base reactions, precipitation, and oxidation-reduction reactions. Unit 2: Apply Reactions of Hydrocarbons and Its Derivatives introduces the structure, properties, and reactions of hydrocarbons and their derivatives, with emphasis on substitution, addition, elimination, oxidation, and polymerization reactions, as well as their industrial and environmental applications. Unit 3: Apply Basic Analytical Chemistry focuses on qualitative and quantitative analysis, solution preparation, titration, pH determination, and basic laboratory analytical techniques used to identify and determine the concentration of chemical substances.
By the end of this course, you will be able to explain and perform basic chemical reactions, analyze chemical substances using appropriate laboratory methods, interpret experimental results, and apply safe laboratory practices. The knowledge and skills acquired in this module provide a solid foundation for further studies in chemistry and related scientific and technical disciplines, while preparing students to apply chemistry effectively in academic, professional, and real-world problem-solving contexts.
