Chemistry and Biochemistry I

Base Knowledge

Physical-chemistry subjects from 10º and 11º years of the secondary

Teaching Methodologies

The teaching methodologies used are intended to provide an effective transfer of knowledge in an environment of dialogue with students that consolidates the process of teaching-learning. The course is
taught in lectures and in laboratory classes. In the lectures are taught the theoretical foundations required for the development of the contents and the acquisition of the skills. The participation of the students will be encouraged in the adaptation of concepts to specific situations. Theoretical-practical exercises can be presented and discussed in the classroom. Practice component involves the lab
execution of protocols and reports of the laboratory work.

Learning Results

– Know the properties of the solutions – Understand the laws of the Chemical Equilibrium considering the different types: acid-base, oxidation-reduction, poorly soluble salts, and complexation – Know the nomenclature and the structure of the main classes of organic compounds – Understand the physical and chemical properties of the organic compounds.

Program

Interaction forces between molecules and sites of action. Properties of the solutions. Chemical Equilibrium: acid-base, oxidation-reduction, poorly soluble salts, and complexation. Structure, nomenclature and physical and chemical properties of the organic compounds. Structure and properties of the main classes of natural compounds.
