Objectives

The course aims to provide students with the fundamental knowledge related to general and organic chemistry, and the elements of physical chemistry (thermodynamic and spectroscopic methods to food studies), necessary to understand the chemical composition of the main foods and the transformations that take place as a result of food processing and preservation methods.

Programme

Module: GENERAL CHEMISTRY
Physics (CHIM/02)
Thermodynamics: First law of thermodynamics, Entropy and the second law of thermodynamics for closed and open systems. Third Law and Gibbs and Helmholz Energies. Diagrams of state of real mixtures (phase diagrams, equilibrium diagrams, enthalpy andentropy diagrams) Mixture property determination (mixture equation of state, mixing properties, partial mole values)Equilibrium conditions (vapour-liquid equilibrium, special cases, Raoult rule, Henry law) Thermodynamics of chemical reactions (reaction enthalpy, reaction equilibrium, calorimetry) Transport Phenomena. Spectroscopy. Properties of electromagnetic radiation. Light-matter interaction. Breadth and intensity of the lines. Beer-Lambert law. Optical activity. Fluorescence and phosphorescence. Main spectroscopic techniques.
Organic chemistry (CHIM/03)
Atomic structure of matter: electronic configuration of chemical elements, periodic table, and mechanisms of formation of chemical bond. States of aggregation of matter and factors governing the transitions of phase. Solutions: definitions, units of concentration and main properties. Exchanging heath and work in chemical reactions: factors affecting their spontaneity. The rate of chemical reactions and their affecting factors.
General chemistry (CHIM/06)
Alkanes and cycloalkanes. Introduction. Structure. Sp3 hybridization. Nomenclature. Physical Properties. Isomerism of structure. Natural role and applications of alkanes. Alkenes. Introduction. Structure. Sp2 hybridization. Nomenclature. Physical Properties. Stability (heat of hydrogenation, heat of combustion).
