CHIM/02 - PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
The teaching is organized as follows:
teoria
laboratorio [1° turno]
laboratorio [2° turno]
Learning objectives
The course aims to provide the student with the fundamental tools, both theoretical and practical, to understand and interpret chemical-physical phenomena concerning systems of biotechnological interest. The student will acquire the ability to apply chemical-physical concepts to real processes in order to quantify thermodynamic, kinetic and spectroscopic observables. In addition, examples concerning the various chemical-physical topics will be illustrated to deepen and complete the theoretical part. The course includes some laboratory experiences in order to provide manual skills and critical ability in facing real chemical-physical problems, and to acquire skills on modern methods and equipment for the measurement of thermodynamic variables and kinetic constants, as well as to study electronic and vibrationals of simple molecules.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Prerequisites are the concepts contained in the courses of Mathematics and Statistics, General and Inorganic Chemistry, Physics and Organic Chemistry. Prerequisites: Mathematics and Statistics, General and Inorganic Chemistry and Physics.
Program
THEORY
Energetic of processes. Work and heat. Internal energy. Enthalpy. Heat capacity.
Enthalpy of phase transition. Enthalpy of reaction and formation.
Entropy and its variation with temperature. Entropy of phase transition. Overview on the statistical interpretation of entropy. Entropy of reaction.
Gibbs free energy and its variation with pressure and temperature. Stability condition and phase diagrams.
Chemical potential. Chemical potential of gas mixtures components and of ideal and real solutions ones. Free energy of mixing for ideal fluids.
Free energy of reaction. Equilibrium and equilibrium constant. Free energy of formation and its use. Variation of the equilibrium constant with the temperature.

Vibrational spectroscopy. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).
Bibliography
Didactic methods
The teaching will be carried out as lectures and laboratory experiences. The teaching methods will also include the application of the concepts developed with the lectures for the illustration of solving real problems. Attendance of the teaching is strongly recommended.
Learning assessment procedures
The oral examination will include all the topics of the Course about the theoretical part as well as the examples, exercises and laboratory experiences. Particular attention will be devoted on the Physical Chemistry concepts and the knowledge of the methods, tools and techniques used in laboratory experiences.
For both attending and not attending students the oral examination will cover all the topics discussed in the theoretical part, in the examples and exercises as well as in the laboratory experiences.
Written reports about the the laboratory experiences are required, describing the principles, the used experimental methods and the results obtained during the lab experiences. The reports have to be loaded to the Moodle platform as soon as the lab experiences will be completed.
Evaluation criteria
The evaluation criteria will be based on the ability to discursively organize knowledge, critical reasoning on the study carried out, quality of exposure, competence in the use of specialized vocabulary, effectiveness and linearity of exposure.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final grade will result from the assessment of the learning of the theoretical part and from the learning of laboratory experiences.

Type D and Type F activities
Le attività formative di tipologia D sono a scelta dello studente, quelle di tipologia F sono ulteriori conoscenze utili all’inserimento nel mondo del lavoro (tirocini, competenze trasversali, project works, ecc.). In base al Regolamento Didattico del Corso, alcune attività possono essere scelte e inserite autonomamente a libretto, altre devono essere approvate da apposita commissione per verificarne la coerenza con il piano di studio. Le attività formative di tipologia D o F possono essere ricoperte dalle seguenti attività.
1. Insegnamenti impartiti presso l'Università di Verona
Comprendono gli insegnamenti sotto riportati e/o nel Catalogo degli insegnamenti (che può essere filtrato anche per lingua di erogazione tramite la Ricerca avanzata).
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: se l'insegnamento è compreso tra quelli sottoelencati, lo studente può inserirlo autonomamente durante il periodo in cui il piano di studi è aperto; in caso contrario, lo studente deve fare richiesta alla Segreteria, inviando a carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it il modulo nel periodo indicato.
2. Attestato o equipollenza linguistica CLA
Oltre a quelle richieste dal piano di studi, per gli immatricolati dall'A.A. 2021/2022 vengono riconosciute:
- Lingua inglese: vengono riconosciuti 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza superiore a quello richiesto dal corso di studio (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
- Altre lingue e italiano per stranieri: vengono riconosciuti 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza a partire da A2 (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
Tali cfu saranno riconosciuti, fino ad un massimo di 6 cfu complessivi, di tipologia F se il piano didattico lo consente, oppure di tipologia D. Ulteriori crediti a scelta per conoscenze linguistiche potranno essere riconosciuti solo se coerenti con il progetto formativo dello studente e se adeguatamente motivati.
Gli immatricolati fino all'A.A. 2020/2021 devono consultare le informazioni che si trovano qui.
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: richiedere l’attestato o l'equipollenza al CLA e inviarlo alla Segreteria Studenti - Carriere per l’inserimento dell’esame in carriera, tramite mail: carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it
3. Competenze trasversali
Scopri i percorsi formativi promossi dal TALC - Teaching and learning center dell'Ateneo, destinati agli studenti regolarmente iscritti all'anno accademico di erogazione del corso https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: non è previsto l'inserimento dell'insegnamento nel piano di studi. Solo in seguito all'ottenimento dell'Open Badge verranno automaticamente convalidati i CFU a libretto. La registrazione dei CFU in carriera non è istantanea, ma ci saranno da attendere dei tempi tecnici.
4. Periodo di stage/tirocinio
Oltre ai CFU previsti dal piano di studi (verificare attentamente quanto indicato sul Regolamento Didattico): qui informazioni su come attivare lo stage.
Verificare nel regolamento quali attività possono essere di tipologia D e quali di tipologia F.
