	Objectives
	GENERAL OBJECTIVE THE COURSE HAS THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF CREATING A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE MICROSCOPIC WORLD, CHARACTERIZED BY DISCRETE STATES AND MECHANICAL QUANTITIES, AND THE MACROSCOPIC WORLD, CHARACTERIZED BY OVERALL THERMODYNAMIC VARIABLES. THE STUDENT WILL LEARN TO DETERMINE MACROSCOPIC QUANTITIES FROM MICROSCOPIC QUANTITIES, GENERALLY OBTAINABLE FROM SPECTROSCOPIC MEASUREMENTS, AND WILL APPLY THIS KNOWLEDGE TO THE THEORY OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND REACTION MECHANISMS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE STUDENT: - KNOWS THE DISCIPLINARY FOUNDATIONS OF STATISTICAL THERMODYNAMICS; - UNDERSTANDS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE MICROSCOPIC WORLD AND THE MACROSCOPIC WORLD; - UNDERSTANDS THE MECHANICAL NATURE OF THE ENTROPY QUANTITY AND LEARNS TO USE IT IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS; - UNDERSTAND HOW TO STUDY A REACTION MECHANISM WITH TIME-RESOLVED SPECTROSCOPY. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - EVALUATE CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANTS FROM SPECTROSCOPIC QUANTITIES; - EVALUATE KINETIC CONSTANTS FOR SIMPLE CHEMICAL REACTIONS; - USE THE CONCEPT OF ENTROPY TO DETERMINE AND INFLUENCE THE SPONTANEITY OF CHEMICAL PROCESSES; AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - USE THE TOOLS OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY WITH GREATER AWARENESS - DISCERN THE EFFECTS OF ENERGY AND ENTROPY. COMMUNICATION SKILLS THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - REPRESENT AND COMMUNICATE, THROUGH TEXTS OR VIRTUAL TOOLS, THE RESULTS OF RESEARCH OR OWN ELABORATIONS. LEARNING ABILITY THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - UNDERSTAND AND INTERPRET COMPLEX, SCIENTIFIC TEXTS; - PROCEED WITH THE CONTINUOUS UPDATING OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE, USING THE TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE

	Teaching Methods
	THE TEACHING CONSISTS OF FRONT LESSONS OF 48 HOURS (6 CFU). NUMERICAL EXERCISES ARE ALSO PROVIDED AS INTEGRATION OF THEORETICAL LESSONS.

	Verification of learning
	THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN UNIVERSITY SCHEDULED EXAMINATION SCORED FROM 0-30. THE EXAM CONSISTS OF AN INTERVIEW WITH QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS ON THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONTENT LISTED IN THE TEACHING PROGRAM AND IS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL UNDERSTANDING REACHED BY THE STUDENT, AS WELL AS TESTING THE EXPOSURE CAPACITY BY USING THE APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY AND THE ABILITY TO AUTONOMOUSLY ORGANIZE MEASUREMENTS AND DATA MANAGING. THE MAXIMUM MARK IS ACHIEVED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES TO BE ABLE TO ILLUSTRATE CORRECTLY ALL THE TOPICS PROPOSED IN THE EXAMINATION. EXCELLENCE REQUIRES DEMONSTRATION OF MASTERING PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
