|---|---|
| CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE CHEMICAL AND CHEMICO-PHYSICAL BASIC NEEDED TO INTERPRET THE BEHAVIOR AND TRANSFORMATIONS OF MATTER IN RELATION TO THE MAJOR TECHNOLOGIES AND ENGINEERING ISSUES. EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES: KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND • KNOWLEDGE OF THE ISSUES INHERENT IN THE STRUCTURE OF MATTER AND THE PRINCIPLES GOVERNING ITS CHEMIC-PHYSICAL TRANSFORMATIONS. • ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF ATOMIC STRUCTURE AND CHEMICAL BOND. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING • ABILITY TO EVALUATE THE INFLUENCE OF OPERATIVE PARAMETERS (SUCH AS TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE) ON CHEMICAL REACTIONS. • ABILITY TO USE THE TOOLS FOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE STRUCTURE OF MATTER TO QUALITATIVELY CORRELATE ITS PROPERTIES (MELTING AND BOILING TEMPERATURE, VAPOR PRESSURE, ETC.) WITH THE STRUCTURE. AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT • ABILITY TO INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATE: - THE VALIDITY AND APPROXIMATION LIMITS OF THE INTERPRETATIVE MODELS OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL BEHAVIOR OF THE MATTER, DEPENDENTLY ON ITS STRUCTURE; - THE AREAS OF USE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY TO UNDERSTAND THE CRITERIA GOVERNING THE DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF SUBSTANCES IN RELATION TO THEIR APPLICATIONS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS • ABILITY TO SUPPORT CONVERSATIONS ON TOPICS RELATED TO THE CORE ASPECTS OF THE DISCIPLINE BY USING APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC TERMINOLOGY, AND THE TOOLS OF MATHEMATICAL AND GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION OF THE MAIN PHENOMENA DESCRIBED. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| REQUIRED KNOWLEDGES: FUNDAMENTALS OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS WHICH CAN BE ACQUIRED AT HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. PREREQS: NONE. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| TEACHING INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS (33 HOURS = 3,3 CFU) AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES (27 HOURS = 2,7 CFU). DURING THE EXERCISES, STUDENTS ARE ASKED TO SOLVE PROBLEMS RELATED TO STOICHIOMETRY. THE RESOLUTION METHOD CONSISTS OF UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM, SCHEDULING THE SOLUTION, AND FINALLY RESOLUTION. THIS LAST PHASE PROMOTES THE ABILITY OF EVALUATING THE REASONABLENESS OF THE RESPONSE AND OF VERIFYING CONSISTENCY WITH THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. IN ORDER TO TAKE THE FINAL EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 70% OF THE TEACHING HOURS. THE MODE OF VERIFICATION OF PRESENCE IS GENERALLY ELECTRONIC OR MADE BY THE TEACHER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LESSONS. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE EXAM WILL BE HELD AT THE END OF THE COURSE AND WILL BE AIMED AT EVALUATING THE STUDENT'S ABILITY TO HAVE LEARNED THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE MATERIAL STRUCTURE BY HAVING ACQUIRED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PHENOMENOLOGICAL APPROACH AND A MICROSCOPIC APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF THE PROPERTIES OF MATTER AND ITS TRANSFORMATIONS. THE MARK, EXPRESSED IN A SCALE FROM 18 TO 30 WITH POSSIBLE LAUDE, WILL DEPEND ON THE ACQUIRED MATURITY ON THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE. FOR THE LAUDE, IT WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSITION, IN TERMS OF THE USE OF APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE, AND OF THE AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT BEING DEMONSTRATED. THE EXAM TEST WILL CONSIST IN A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL TEST, BOTH ASSESSED IN THIRTY. IT WILL BE PROPOSED A WRITTEN TEST ON STOICHIOMETRY QUESTIONS ON: REDOX REACTION WITH LIMITING REAGENT AND GAS PRODUCTION, HOMOGENEOUS EQUILIBRIUM IN GAS PHASE, COLLIGATIVE PROPERTIES, ACID-BASE EQUILIBRIUM, SOLUBILITY EQUILIBRIUM, GALVANIC CELL. TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE ORAL EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST REACH AT LEAST 15 POINTS. THE ORAL TEST WILL CONSIST OF AN INTERVIEW WHERE THE GAPS IDENTIFIED IN THE WRITTEN TEST WILL BE FILLED AND THEORY ASPECTS WILL BE DISCUSSED. FINAL SCORE WILL BE GIVEN BY THE AVERAGE OF THE TWO TESTS. |
