Fundamentals of Chemistry and Physical Chemistry

The course aims to provide the basic knowledge in Chemistry and Physical Chemistry that is prerequisite to all other courses in subjects of related chemical and technological disciplines envisaged by the degree course.

Student will be able to recognize the chemical nomenclature, perform stoichiometric calculations and recognize the properties of chemical solutions. Moreover, he learns to define the state and the stability of systems (one or more components distributed in one or more phases) when are known the composition, temperature and pressure. The concepts of chemical kinetics allow the student to outline the processes in terms of elementary steps, subsequent or simultaneous, and the temperature dependence of the respective rates.
