It is essential that the students understand and predict physical properties of ideal and real gases, knowing how to apply the three laws of thermodynamics in biochemistry reactions, allowing them to predict and calculate heat changes, entropy variations and spontaneity of the processes.
The student must be able to interpret phase diagram of pure substance, understanding the meaning of triple and critic points, and also to interpret different phase diagrams for mixtures, establishing the basis for several industrial separation process.
It is also necessary that student understand the differences between ideal and real liquid mixtures and the importance of the activity coefficients concept, allowing them to control the variables that affect the equilibrium.Not applicable
1 Introduction: Fundamental concepts
2 Properties of gases: Perfect gases. Kinetic theory of gases. Real gases – state equations.
3 1st thermodynamics law: Definitions. Work and heat; Internal energy and enthalpy.
4 Thermochemistry: Transitions enthalpy. Types of enthalpy. Temperature effect.
5 2nd thermodynamics law: Entropy and the 2nd law. Absolute entropy and the 3rd law. Gibbs energy and spontaneity – properties.
6 Physical equilibrium: Transitions thermodynamics. Gibbs energy variation with pressure and temperature. Phase diagrams – interpretations and examples. Liquids molecular structure.
7 Mixtures: Introduction. Ideal solutions. Real solutions and activities. Colligative properties. Mixture phase diagrams – volatile and non-volatile liquids and solid-liquid.
8 Chemical equilibrium: Thermodynamics basis. Standard Gibbs energy. Equilibrium constant and composition. Le Chatelier principle. Van’t Hoff equation.In theoretical classes fundamental concepts are exposed. Illustrative applications of these concepts are solved. In theoretical/practical classes, students solve application exercises individually.
In the same semester there is a laboratory associated curricular unit in which the students will perform several experimental works that will exemplify the thermodynamics principles applications.

The approval can be made by:
a) Continuous assessment: 2 testsNF = T1 * 0.5 + T2 * 0.5
b) Assessment by exam will be the exam grade
