Objetivos
After this course it is expected that the student will know and understand the fundaments of general chemistry. The student should be able to recognize the atomic structure and chemical bonds, basic foundations of chemistry, with the aim of understanding the structure of matter and its transformations, as well as understand and to know how to implement qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis, distinguishing between the different chemical equilibrium. Understand the acid-base equilibrium, knowing how to use buffer solutions, titrations and acid-base volumetry. Although the essentially introductory character of this UC, it is intended that students acquire skills allowing them a better adaptation and understanding of problems involved in chemical processes in the subsequent UC, essential to access profession as professionals in Biotechnology in general and particularly in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, food and biochemistry, or related fields, and in public services.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
Recognize the importance of studying chemistry so that the student can understand how it works and how to apply everything he assimilates in the classroom. Develop basic knowledge about the basic structures of inorganic chemistry, as well as their physical and chemical properties, functions, structures and reactions. To facilitate the understanding of daily life and subsequent professional application.
