Aims :

• The aim of this title is to develop an understanding of the principles of the chemical reactions.

Objectives :
By the end of this course the student will be able to:

• Define the terms: element, compound and mixture, and give an example of each.
• Differentiate between chemical and physical changes, and give an example of each.
• Describe how ionic compounds dissociate into ions in solution, with particular reference to aqueous solutions.
• Define pH and relate its value to neutral, acidic and alkaline solutions.
• Define the term 'conductivity' as applied to an aqueous solution.
• Specify the nature of impurities found in natural untreated water, and state the potential problems of its use.
• Explain the principles of ion exchange technology, and how dissolved ionic constituents may be removed from water.
