Learning outcomes |
This course unit aims to provide basic notions of:
-Chemical equilibrium in acid-base, precipitation and oxidation-reduction reactions, including electrochemical cells;
-Relevant methods (classical and modern) of chemical analysis;
-Organic chemistry, organic functional groups, nomenclature, symmetry and stereochemistry;
-Spectroscopic methods (ultraviolet, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance) and mass spectrometry.
The student should:
1. Classify the different types of chemical reactions, quantitatively analyse chemical equilibrium using classical and modern methods of analysis and perform electrolysis;
2. Recognize organic functional groups, name simple organic molecules, analyse their symmetry and stereochemistry and determine molecular structure with spectroscopic methods;
3. Perform unit operations in the laboratory and perform simple chemical calculations.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teacher explains the concepts of Chemistry, and the theoretical classes are integrated with practical and/or laboratory classes, in order to become participatory classes, with a view to imparting knowledge in an integrated, not dispersed way, leading students to build and to correlate different facts through the discussion of concrete issues and problems. The evaluation will be continuous, through tests about the topics covered in theoretical and practical/laboratory classes, and through evaluation of the overall laboratory performance (which includes preparation of the work to be carried out, results and discussion of the same, and attitudes in classes and laboratory performance).
