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.
Syllabus 1 Chemical Equilibrium 1.1 Thermodynamics; Mass and charge balances 1.2 Acid-base reactions: Brönsted-Lowry definition; pH calculations; Henderson-Hasselbalch equation 1.3 Precipitation reactions: solubility; effect of pH, temperature and common ion 1.4 Redox reactions: oxidants and reducers; balancing equations 1.5 Volumetric methods: acid-base, precipitation and redox; Indicators 1.6 Electrochemistry: electrodes; electrochemical cells; Faraday's law
2 Organic Chemistry and Spectroscopy 2.1 Functional groups and nomenclature 2.2 Stereochemistry: configurational and conformational isomers 2.3 Infrared: vibrations; spectra 2.4 Nuclear magnetic resonance: nuclear spin; 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR; chemical shift 2.5 Mass spectrometry: base, isotope and molecular peak 2.6 Visible ultraviolet: electronic transitions; chromophores

Practical classes: laboratory work (unitary techniques, classical and instrumental methods of analysis) and resolution of exercises on theoretical content.
