Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2023-24

The subject "Applied Physical Chemistry" can be considered as a continuation of the subject "Chemistry Extension" of the first year of the degree. In it, the fundamental contents of Chemical Thermodynamics are completed, paying special attention to the deviations from ideality. Emphasis is also placed on Electrochemistry and Surface Chemistry.
