Objectives
The students should be able to describe chemical balances (acid-base, coordination and oxide-reduction)and identify these phenomena in artifacts and cultural property.
Program
Chemical equilibrium: General notions of chemical equilibrium; The equilibrium constant; The heterogeneous equilibrium; The quotient of the reaction; Factors affecting balance; Equilibria of solubility; Acid-base equilibria; Equilibria of complexation.
Ionic equilibrium (Acid-base): Bronstead-Lowry acid systems; Autoionization of water; Calculation of the concentrations of the hydrogen ion and the hydroxide ion; Criteria for acidic, basic and neutral solutions; The concept of pH; Solutions of strong acids and bases; PH measurement; Exemplification of pH measurement of solutions with pH meter, and universal indicators.
Complexity Equilibrium: History; General concepts about coordination compounds and complexes; Balance of formation of complexes; Most common complexes in CR practice; Conclusion.
Oxidation-reduction: Oxidation-reduction state; Oxidation-reduction concepts; writing and balancing of redox semi-reactions; writing of a complete redox reaction; Oxidant and reducer; Oxidation and reduction in organic compounds; Reduction potential; Galvanic or voltaic cells; Electrolytic cells; Corrosion of metals; Chemical cleaning by redox mechanisms; Final considerations.
Evaluation Methodology
There are five moments of continuous evaluation, four in the theoretical component and one in the practical component. Each evaluation moment is valued at 4 points, for a total of 20 points. Of the four moments of theoretical assessment, the first is a traditional evaluation requiring the pupil presence in person and the remaining three are carried out remotely using an online assessment tool. The practical evaluation is done in a classroom laboratory class through group work of which a report is written. The sum of the results obtained in the five evaluation moments is equal to the final mark that must be at least 10.
In regular exam and appeal/improvement exam periods, all assessments are traditional in person.
All students will have to be assessed in the practical component without which they will be excluded from the regular exam period.
All students must have an evaluation in both components with a minimum grade of 2 points, without which they will be excluded from the exam period.
