Learning outcomes |
It is a curricular unit that provides students with basic knowledge of chemistry: essential thermodynamics, chemical physics and chemical phases. Knowledge to be developed based on systems, states and processes, applied to biological phenomena. The student is expected to be able to:
? Master thermology in thermodynamics and chemical kinetics: nomentura, system of units and conventions.
? Apply the learned formalism to solving problems related to biological phenomena, and practical cases of thermodynamics and chemical kinetics.
? Plan, design and execute practical work to study simple thermodynamic and kinetic properties.
? Treat experimental data through understanding the behavior of calculation systems and analysis of derived thermodynamic and kinetic properties.
? Demonstrate scientific and critical ability to interpret the thermodynamic and kinetic behavior of systems.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The programmed teaching/learning activities include theoretical classes, laboratory practices and time to support self-learning.
In the theoretical classes, the general lines of the topics under study are exposed as a guideline for autonomous study. After the autonomous study, the student can and should use the support time to clarify doubts related to the theoretical component and its application in solving exercises. The experimental work will integrate all the material for the application of the acquired concepts, both in the execution of techniques, as in the analysis of data, interpretation of results and resolution of problems.
