1. General information
In the subject "Chemistry" it is intended that students acquire a general vision of chemistry and its importance in our society and that they are able to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired in the development of their profession as industrial engineers.
These approaches and objectives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations, so that the acquisition of the learning results of the subject will contribute to some extent to the achievement of Objective 3.9 of Goal 3, 6.3 of Goal 6, 7.2 and 7.3 of Goal 7, and 12.2 and 12.5 of Goal 12.
2. Learning results
- Master the basic principles of general chemistry, organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry.
- Handle the basic laws that regulate reactions: thermodynamics, kinetics and equilibrium
- Solve exercises in a complete and reasoned manner
- Properly apply theoretical concepts in the laboratory through the correct and safe use of basic materials and equipment
- Use rigorous language in chemistry
- Present and interpret data and results
3. Syllabus
The theory program consists of 10 topics:
Topic 1. Periodic table and properties
Topic 2. Chemical nomenclature
Topic 3. Chemical bonding
Topic 4. States of aggregation of matter
Topic 5. Chemical reactions and solutions
Topic 6. Thermochemistry
Topic 7. Chemical thermodynamics
Topic 8. Chemical equilibrium
Topic 9. Chemical kinetics
Topic 10. Electrochemistry
The laboratory practice program consists of three sessions:
Session 1. Laboratory safety. Study of solids according to the type of bond
Session 2. Chemical equilibrium
Session 3. Electrolysis. Energy interconverted panel
4. Academic activities
Theoretical and problem-solving sessions (50 hours)
The master class will be mainly used through the transmission of information by oral exposition and the support of the ICTs. In problem-solving classes, student participation will be encouraged.
Laboratory practices (10 hours)
The laboratory practices will be oriented to students acquiring skills in the handling of laboratory material and developing their deductive, communicative, teamwork and analytical abilities. Likewise, the importance of safety standards in laboratories and the correct handling of waste will be emphasized.
5. Assessment system
The subject will be assessed in the global assessment modality by means of the following activities.
Written test on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry and Organic Chemistry (10% of the grade, minimum 4.0 out of 10.0).
Inorganic and organic compounds must be formulated and named
Theory written test (40 % of the grade, minimum 4.0 out of 10.0)
With definitions, multiple-choice questions, and open-ended theoretical questions.
Written test of Problems (40 % of the grade, minimum 4.0 out of 10.0)
In it, students will be evaluated on the skills acquired in problem solving.
Laboratory Practices (10 % of the grade, minimum 4.0 out of 10.0)
Laboratory practices, delivery of a report of each practice according to the guidelines indicated at the beginning of each session, and a written exam.
The practices grade will be calculated according to the following formula
Practices grade = 0.3 x exam grade + 0.7 x laboratory grade
A minimum grade of 3.0 points on the written practical exam is required to apply the above formula. If this grade is not reached , the student not pass the practical part. If the student has not completed the laboratory practices, in addition to the above written tests, in the second call they must take a practical exam, in which they will perform some experience related to those carried out in the laboratory sessions. This test will account for 10% of the final grade.
The grade obtained in the evaluation of the different activities will be kept for the second call of the term if it is equal to or higher than 4.0 points
