Understanding of basic reaction mechanisms.

Understanding of chemical calculations.

Students are able to understand and apply the basic concepts and principles of chemistry, in particular organic chemistry in the context of polymeric materials. They learn to classify the substance classes of organic chemistry, to recognize the mechanisms of organic reactions and to apply chemical calculations in everyday practice.

- Know and explain basic principles and concepts of chemistry, especially organic chemistry [k1].

- Know and classify organic chemistry substance classes [k2].

- Know and understand basic organic chemical reactions and their mechanisms [k3].

- Master basic chemical calculations and be able to apply them in everyday practice [k4].

- Transfer and apply this knowledge of organic chemistry to polymers [k5].

- Understand and evaluate the structure-property relationships of polymers and plastics on this basis [k6].

Substance classes of organic chemistry: alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, carbenium ions, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, aromatics.

Organic reactions: nucleophilic substitution, addition reactions, elimination reactions, electrophilic aromatic substitution, radical reactions, name reactions, equilibria and mechanisms, stereochemistry.

Chemical calculations: classical mathematical equations and rules, chemical formulas, stoichiometry, quantities and SI units, substance quantity calculations, concentrations, dilutions, gas laws, reaction equations, conversion and yield, oxidation numbers, enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs energy.
