Contents
The main objective of the subject is the study of the matter and its reactivity, therefore:
§ General knowledge about the structure and composition of the matter will be provided, covering from macroscopic ¿aggregation states of the matter- to the nanoscopic ¿atom and chemical bonding-.
§ Atomic spectra, atomic structure and ground state configuration will explain the periodic table.
§ Termochemistry will establish the basis for studying chemical reactions from an energetic point of view..
§ Chemical reactions will be studied using chemical equilibrium and chemical kinetics. Main chemical reactivities will be also dealed.
Finally, an introduction to Organic Chemistry will be made according to formulation, naming and reactivity. Special reactions will be finally studied (acid-base, oxidation, condensation and polymerization)
General proficiencies
- CB1: Students are able to demonstrate they have acquired knowledge and understanding in a field of study based on the basic foundations gained within their general secondary education together with the support of advanced textbooks and aspects of the latest advances in the field.
- CB2: Students can apply their knowledge to a job or vocation in a professional manner and have the competences which are generally shown through the elaboration and defence of arguments and problem solving in their field of study.
Specific proficiencies
- CG2: Adequate knowledge of the physical problems, technologies, equipment, and water and energy supply systems, the limits imposed by budgetary factors and building regulations, the relationships between installations and/or buildings with farms, agro-food industries and spaces related to gardening and landscaping with their social and environmental surroundings, as well as the need to relate those surroundings from that environment with human needs and environmental protection.
- CE4 Basic knowledge of general chemistry, organic and inorganic chemistry and their applications in engineering.
