Mode of delivery Classroom teaching
Learning outcomes It is intended that students learn the fundamentals of organic chemistry and develop knowledge in some areas of General Chemistry, in particular, the application of the concept of chemical equilibrium to acid-base reactions, oxidation-reduction reactions and solid-liquid equilibrium.
At the end of the course unit the student should be able to:
- Know and apply the rules of IUPAC nomenclature for organic compounds;
- Sort and identify most common organic functional groups;
- Predict the three-dimensional structure of organic molecules by applying the basic principles of bonding, hybridization and analysis of conformation.
- Identify organic compounds by IR and NMR spectra.
- To apply the concept of chemical equilibrium to acid-base reactions, oxidation-reduction reactions and interpret solubility studies;

LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS -Liquid-liquid extraction – Recrystallization – Simple and fractional distillation – Chemical equilibrium – Determination of acetic acid in vinegar – Redox titration (Permanganometry)
Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Teaching methodology includes: Verbal The transmission of the syllabus is fundamentally of an expository character. . However, it is also envisaged that questions and explanation also take place Intuitive – The use of audio-visual presentation of thematic contents facilitates the understanding and learning. Active -Implementation of individual and group work, including exercises, laboratory experiments, research subjects with tutorial guidance.
The evaluation will be:
-Theoretical: average of 2 tests or final exam (85%). The average of 2 tests must be equal to or greater than 9.5 points or a final exam, where it will be necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 9.5 points.
The 1st and 2nd tests are worth 20 points. Only students with a minimum grade of 4.0 values or more will be able to take the 2nd test.
The evaluation of practical classes will be carried out through an assessment test of practical knowledge (15%).
