Química Geral

basic knowledge of chemistry

The theoretical contents are presented in theoretical lessons, and then these contents are applied to practical exercises carried out in theoretical-practical lessons. In PL lessons, students perform laboratory experiments to consolidate the knowledge transmitted in T and TP lessons, as well as to increase their understanding of the scientific method, namely observation, recording, critical thinking and writing of scientific reports.

The objectives defined for the UC of Chemistry are related to its fundamental role, generalist and pedagogical support to the study of Engineering. It is intended to provide to the students the fundaments bases of chemistry that underlie the transformation and characterization of matter and the structures that it forms. The skills to be acquired by the student are: Solve physical-chemical problems, using an appropriate form. Identify, interpret and know how to communicate the relationship between microstructure and material properties. Interpreting and equating physico-chemical problems involving homogeneous or heterogeneous systems. Predict the direction of evolution the chemical systems based on thermodynamic data. Interpret and communicate mechanisms by electrochemical processes. Complement and consolidate knowledge of the subjects covered in the course through laboratory practice, being able to access new knowledge by the use of the bibliographic material.
