Class Chemistry

Chemistry is a science that studies the nature of matter, its properties and transformations. It is present in our daily lives, in all materials around us, and in all living beings. It is intended to give students a solid and integrated education in general chemistry and its applications such as the role and use of chemistry in various industries, namely materials and biomaterials, nanotechnology. Technologies applied to environmental processes in the development of new techniques via green processes for the development of new sustainable products.

1-Introduction: Periodic table. Ions in the biological environment. Chemical reactions, stoichiometry. Solutions . Chemical Bonding.

2-Acid-base equilibrium: Factors that influence it (Le Chatelier principle). Strength of acids and bases, type of acids. Buffer solutions. Titrations. Solubility equilibrium. Qualitative analysis. Applications in the study of natural products, biological media

3-Solubility Equilibrium. Principle of LeChâtelier. Common ion effect

4-Electrochemistry: oxidation-reduction in biological mechanisms, electrolysis, corrosion of metals.

5-Chemistry of transition metals. Metals and Coordinated compounds. Role of complexes in health and purification of water. Metallurgy. Color and magnetic properties. Effect of complexation on the solubility of a sparingly soluble solid.

6-Chemical kinetics. Parameters that influence the reaction rate (Chemical catalysts, enzymatic, temperature, concentration) 

Implementation of distance classes for extra student support: additional exercises for homework and better understanding of
the subject.
