Chemistry Preparatory B
7.5 PECLearning outcomes 1 and 2: Reaction velocity, different types of equilibrium, equilibrium constants, calculating equlibrium, Le Chatelier's Principle, protolysis and protolytes, pH, pOH, acid-base constants, acid-base titration, neutralisation, different buffer systems.
Learning outcomes 3 and 4: Organic element classes and their functional groups (hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, triols, ethers, esters, amines, carboxylic acids, and nitro compounds), rational nomenclature, isomer, oxidation of alcohols and a few other reaction mechanisms.
Learning outcome 5: Lipids (fats, phospholipids, steroids), carbohydrates (mono-, di-, and polysaccharides), amino acids, and nucleotides.
Learning outcomes 6 and 7: Protein structure and function, enzyme activity, catabolic reactions (glycolysis, beta oxidation, transanimation and deanimation, the citric acid cycle, the electron transport chain), the structure and function of nucleic acid.
Learning outcome 8: Qualitative and quantitative analysis, spectrophotometry (UV/VIS spectrophotometry, IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, NMR), pH meter, chromatography (size exclusion chromatography, affinity chromatography, thin layer chromatography, liquid chromatography, gas chromatography).
Learning outcome 9: Laboratory work including preparation, implementation, interpretation, and presentation of results in accordance with instructions.
