2. A chemistry major is recognised by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) as meeting the requirements for Graduate Member (MRACI) provided that either a mathematics or physics unit is also taken at 1st year level in addition to both KRA113 and KRA114.
3. If studying this unit off-campus, please note there is a need to attend Hobart for two days to complete laboratory sessions.
Introduction
Together with KRA113 Chemistry 1A, this unit is a required prerequisite for those students intending to major in Chemistry and for those intending to proceed to second-year chemistry. It provides students with fundamental knowledge and concepts in inorganic, physical, analytical, and organic chemistry, with applications in both the physical and biological sciences. Topics include equilibrium and acid-base chemistry, chemical kinetics, coordination chemistry, separation techniques, the chemistry of organic functional groups and an introduction to lipids, carbohydrates and proteins. Laboratory sessions are designed to increase students' manipulative skills and, where possible, to reinforce the lecture program.
