MyUni: Teaching materials and course documentation will be posted on the MyUni website ().

• Lectures 36 x 50-minute sessions with three sessions per week
• Tutorials 12 x 50-minute sessions with one session per week
• Practicals 9 x 5-hour sessions (including the lab familiarisation session
• Specialist Tutorials 5 x 1-hour sessions

A student enrolled in a 3 unit course, such as this, should expect to spend, on average 12 hours per week on the studies required. This includes both the formal contact time required to the course (e.g., lectures and practicals), as well as non-contact time (e.g., reading and revision).

The course content includes the following:

Coursework Content

• Synthetic Chemistry I - Chemistry of the Carbonyl Group (25%)

This section of the course will examine the reactivity of the carbonyl group, with the emphasis on aldehydes, ketones, imines, esters, amides and carboxylic acids. A mechanistic approach to the reactions of these compounds will be undertaken. Applications to the synthesis of molecules will be a feature, as will applications of this chemistry to the biological and material sciences.

• Metal-Ligand Chemistry (25%)

This section of the course will discuss the chemistry of metal-ligand complexes, with key topics including acids and bases, main group organometallic compounds, bonding in coordination chemistry, reactions, kinetics and mechanisms, homogeneous catalysis

• Thermodynamics and Kinetics (25%)

Thermodynamics - enthalpy (reprise); entropy; free energy; chemical potential; applications [reverse osmosis, dialysis, osmometry (polymer MW distribution)].

Kinetics - introduction to kinetics, first order reactions, second order reactions, applications

• Stereochemistry (25%)

This section of the course will extend the concepts of chirality encountered at Level I, then examine the three-dimensional shape of molecules. Conformation will be an important feature, with the emphasis on the effect that this can have on reactivity. Substitution and elimination reactions will be used to illustrate these concepts.

Practicals There will be 8 sessions from Weeks 2 – 11. The 3-hour session in Week 1 is devoted to analytical techniques, data acquisition and data handling with a variety of software. The remaining sessions will be divided equally between synthetic chemistry, which will introduce the student to a variety of techniques to prepare chemicals in a safe manner, and measurement and analysis, which will introduce the student to techniques for studying and quantifying chemical processes.

Tutorials The tutorials are formative in nature. These sessions will be held weekly and will provide the student with the opportunity to answer and discuss material from the lecture content. In addition, there are 4 summative tasks/assignments which will be used to assess the comprehension of the student on the material. The assignments have been designed to resemble what would be asked in the final examination.

Specialist Tutorials These tutorials will be held for six weeks. The tutorials will cover a range of topics that will provide insight into the issues relevant to the named degrees.

Practical work is compulsory – This includes conduct of required experimental work, attendance at demonstrator interviews (as required) and submission of the laboratory reports.

To pass this course students must:

• Attain a minimum of 60% for the practical reports:
  • Students who do not attain this minimum requirement will not be offered an additional assessment.
• Attain a minimum of 45% for the exam:
  • Students who attain a final course grade of at least 45% but do not attain a minimum of 45% for the exam may be offered an Additional Academic Exam during the Replacement/Additional Assessment period, in line with the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment Policy

Assignments 10% - This assessment activity specifically covers lecture course content and is designed to encourage students to engage with the subject matter through semester (4 short-answer assignments). The assignments are supported and enhanced by students’ participation in tutorials.

Safety Assignment 5% - This short-answer assessment activity addresses the safety aspects in the chemical laboratories. There are 9 questions covering the topics of hazardous substance, hazard classifications, health hazard classification, material safety data sheets, EC/Hazard symbols, The Dangerous Goods Act, the 最新糖心Vlogn Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road or Rail (ADG Code), Dangerous Goods Classes , Packaging Groups (PG), exposure standard, LC50, LD50.

Practical Reports 20% - This assessment activity comprehensively addresses the practical aspects of chemistry and competent training in the techniques employed in chemical laboratories (8 short, hand-written practical reports submitted in class).

Specialist Tutorials Presentation 5% - This assessment activity covers the specialist tutorial topics in which students are required to give a 10 minute presentation in pairs (5 minutes per student). Each pair is assigned a topic covered specifically in the specialist tutorials and provided with some background material and a research paper to study in class. Students are required to do a presentation to outline their understanding of the topic and present it to the class. The requirements and marking scheme for the presentation are provided to students at the start of the semester.

Final exam 60% - This assessment activity comprehensively addresses the learning outcomes

Submission of Assigned Work Coversheets must be completed and attached to all submitted work. Coversheets can be obtained from the School Office (room G33 Physics) or from MyUNI. Work should be submitted via the assignment drop box at the School Office.

Extensions for Assessment Tasks Extensions of deadlines for assessment tasks may be allowed for reasonable causes. Such situations would include compassionate and medical grounds of the severity that would justify the awarding of a supplementary examination. Evidence for the grounds must be provided when an extension is requested. Students are required to apply for an extension to the Course Coordinator before the assessment task is due. Extensions will not be provided on the grounds of poor prioritising of time. The assessment extension application form can be obtained from:

Late submission of assessments If an extension is not applied for, or not granted then a penalty for late submission will apply. A penalty of 10% of the value of the assignment for each calendar day that is late (i.e. weekends count as 2 days), up to a maximum of 50% of the available marks will be applied. This means that an assignment that is 5 days or more late without an approved extension can only receive a maximum of 50% of the mark.
