Learning Outcomes
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.
Prerequisites
bases of general chemistry
Teaching Methods
classroom lectures with computer support: projection of powerpoint slides and videos. The slides are present on the site in advance of the start of the courses.
brief presentation of the practical part in order to introduce students to what will be the experiences that they will be addressed in the laboratory and what are the main instruments that they will use
exercises to test the learning means inconceivable of the basic formulas for the calculation of the concentrations of solutions
In the didactic laboratories the students will do experiments to test their ability of the application of the concepts acquired during the first part of the course.
every experience has a dedicated tutor who will follow and support the students in the performance of their work
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.
