Learning outcomes of the learning unit
This course of scond year deepens the subjects seen in the 1st year course of General Chemistry and opens to more conceptual subjects.
It covers the following subjects:
Thermodynamics: introduction of concepts and quantities
Change of state of pure and mixed substances.
Phase diagram of simple, binary and ternary systems.
