COURSE INFORMATION

SUBJECT: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY

DEFINITION: THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL
ACADEMY UNIT: FCNM
CODE: QUIG1034
WORKLOAD: 3 HOURS WEEK

2. OBJECTIVES

GENERAL OBJECTIVE

Analyze the thermodynamic principles of systems in solution and in equilibrium, for the
resolution process-related problems by integrating physico chemical and mathematical
concepts.

3. LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Interpret chemical processes from the macroscopic perspective of

thermodynamics for their application in case studies.

• Use the thermodynamic laws applicable to each physico chemical system for the
validation of the solutions proposed in the case studies.

• Use the criteria of equilibrium and spontaneity to predict physical changes and
chemicals.

• Demonstrate the thermodynamic principles associated with gases, solutions, and

equilibrium in chemical reactions through experimentation, interpretation, and
data analysis.

6. RULES FOR THE COURSE

• Maintain a cordial and respectful behavior with the teacher and classmates.
• Students must comply with the academic regulations and standards of ESPOL.
• The information shared in the virtual classroom will be exclusively for academic
use, students must use the information with confidentiality.
• Students must attend their classes punctually and regularly within the
established schedule. In case of excused absence, the student may request the
class information from the teacher.
• Students must complete assigned tasks and assignments in the manner and time
indicated. The delivery of workshops delayed due to absence will not be
allowed.
• Tasks, workshops and projects will be delivered on the virtual classroom
platform.
• For the evaluations, students must have their identification card, cell phones will
not be allowed. Students may arrive up to 15 minutes late for classes and 30
minutes late for exams.

7. ASSESSMENTS

The course has a theoretical component equivalent to 70% of the grade, while 30%
corresponds to the practical component, the score is distributed as follows:

THEORETICAL 70% PRACTICAL 30%

Homeworks 20% Experimental 100%
Workshops 20% practice
Interaction 10%
Lesson and exam 50%
