Learning outcomes

The course aims to provide the knowledge of the correlations between the microstructure of matter and its chemical-physical properties. In particular, the student will be able to understand the properties and structure of molecules of biological interest.

Fundamentals of chemical thermodynamics and thermochemistry. The solutions and their properties. Chemical reactions. Stoichiometry. The chemical equilibrium. Ionic equilibria in aqueous solution. Acid-base equilibria. The pH. Calculus. Electrochemistry.
Kinetic equations, activation energy, molecularity, steric factor. Relationship between kinetic constant and equilibrium constant. Introduction to catalysis. Catalysts, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Langmuir isotherm.
Introduction to organic chemistry. Aliphatic hydrocarbons, Alkanes, Alkenes and alkynes. Properties and reactivity of hydrocarbons. Substitution, addition and elimination reactions. cyclic hydrocarbons. Aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene and its derivatives. Electrophilic substitution reactions of benzene. Polar organic compounds.

Examination Methods

At the end of the teaching course: in view of the epidemic situation and the very high number of students enrolled in the CdL, it is necessary to propose the evaluation in written form with theory questions and exercises that are entirely equivalent to the oral exam (time allowed: 2 hours). However, the oral examination remains an optional possibility for those who have passed the written test, to change the grade. Any oral exam will be remote, except in the case of students who make a specific request by going to UNIMORE. The date needs to be agreed successively.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
