the course has the objective to provide the basic knowledge for calculating the concentrations of the solutions in the various forms that are commonly used in the laboratory whether chemical and pharmacological. At the end of the course students should be able to apply theoretical formulas to practical problems of dilution and preparation of solutions of known titre.
Provide students the essential elements of organic chemistry to critically
approach the study of complex biomolecules

Main concepts developed in the course of General Chemistry (chemical
bond, equilibria, kinetics and thermodynamics of chemical processes)

Exercises and problems will be solved and discussed during the course.
The slides are available on the website in advance of the start of the courses
brief presentation of the practical part in order to introduce students to the experiences they will deal with in the laboratory and what are the main tools they will use.
exercises to verify the learning status of the basic formulas for calculating the concentrations of solutions
during the educational laboratories, experiences will be carried out to verify the student's ability to apply the concepts acquired during the first part of the course.
each experience has a dedicated tutor who will follow and support students in carrying out their work.

Exercises and problems will be solved and discussed during the course.
All the material will be made available to students in the web

Students with physical disabilities, Learning Disabilities or Special Education Needs can request specific services and tools via the Staff Sviluppo e Coordinamento Carriere e Servizi alle Studentesse e agli Studenti, consulting the University webpage: https://www.uniupo.it/en/services/services- students physical-or-learning-disabilities
Students with disabilities, learning disabilities or special education needs, once they have contacted the University Staff, can refer to the tutor in charge of the course to define the examination modalities, concerning academic aspects

written examination with problems on the preparation of standard solutions of various salts and inorganic compounds and the determination of the concentration of solutions of unknown titre
The exam will be a set of multiple-choice questions aimed at developing
the attitude to critical thinking of the candidate

introduction to solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and their differences. Introduction to the various chemical and physical units for the calculation of concentrations of solutions. exercises done in the classroom for learning evaluation. volumetric methods: theoretical and practical concepts of the use of titrations.
