2h: basics of chemical kinetics, reaction order, collision theory, transition state theory, Hammond’s postulate, temperature dependency of the reaction rate, catalysis (homogeneous /heterogeneous), autocatalysis;
3h: chemical equilibrium, dynamic equilibrium, Le Chatelier‘s principle, activation energy, Haber-Bosch-process, solubility equilibrium, solubility product, solubility, Mohr’s titration;
4h: redox reastions, oxidation numbers;
5h: oxidation numbers for covalent compounds, oxidizing and reducing agents, redox potentials, acid-base-theories: Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, Lewis, protolysis in water, strength of acids and bases, autoprotolysis, Brønsted-acids
6h: Amphoterism, pH-value and its calculation, degree of protolysis and Ostwald’s dilution law, titration, acid-base titrations, indicators, glass electrode, buffer, buffer-capacity, important acids and bases.
