OVERVIEW

It is an 8 CFU physical chemistry course for second-year students of the degree in one cycle of the CTF of which 6 credits are borrowed for students of the Master of Science in medical and pharmaceutical biotechnology.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

It is a basic course which is held in the first half of Year 2, in which describes the basics of thermodynamics, chemistry, Equilibrium Chemistry, Chemical Kinetics and Theoretical Chemistry in order to make the student acquire a critical understanding of the principles and application of Physical Chemistry of chemical interest in systems, biological, pharmaceutical.
