Syllabus:
CP1 - Laboratory safety: general rules. CP2- Current laboratory operations: preparation and storage of solutions. Use of glassware. Measurements and dilutions. Titrations. CP3- Purification of substances: crystallization, distillation, extraction, chromatography. CP4- Errors and significant figures. International system of units. CP5- Atoms, ions and molecules. Nomenclature of inorganic compounds. CP6- Chemical reactions and chemical equations. CP7- Precipitation, acid-base, oxidation reduction and complexation reactions. CP8- Concentration of solutions (molarity, molar fraction, mass-volume percent, mass percentage, molality). CP9- Acid-base and redox titrations. CP10- Chemical bond: basic concepts. CP11- Organic Chemistry: hydrocarbons, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, ketones, amines, alcohols, phenols, ethers and esters - identification, main nomenclature rules and reactivity basics. CP12- Chemical thermodynamics: basic concepts
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:

Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
M1 - Use of the e-learning platform to store educational material that will be made available to the student. M2 - Resolution of exercises (theoretical/practical lessons) to apply the concepts taught in lectures M3 - Experimental works that will awaken the critical spirit of the students and apply the theoretical concepts learned. M4 - Experimental protocols and their attachments with the forms to be completed by the students after each experimental activity. Evaluation Theoretical- Two summative assessment tests, 2 h (50% each of the final grade). The student must obtain an average of 9.5 or above. Practice- Two summative assessment tests, 2 h (25% each of the final grade) + execution of the experimental protocols and completion of the respective forms (50% of the final grade). The student must obtain an average of 9.5 or above.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
M1 - Using the e-learning platform to store educational material that will be made available to the student: all objectives. M2 - Resolution of exercises (TP lessons) to apply the concepts taught in lectures: objectives O4 to O8 and O10 to O14. M3 - Experimental work that will awaken the critical spirit of students and apply the theoretical concepts learned: objectives O1 to O3. M4 - Experimental protocols and their annexes with the forms to be completed by the students after each experimental activity: objectives O1 to O3, O8 and O11.
