The subject "Physical Chemistry I" is one of the first contacts of the students of the "Degree in Chemistry" with Physical Chemistry. This discipline studies the properties and behavior of chemical systems using the methods of Physics.
The subject deals with the rigorous macroscopic treatment of chemical systems in equilibrium, systems already introduced in the subject "Chemistry II".
Taking advantage of the basic knowledge of the principles of Thermodynamics, they will be applied to systems of chemical interest to have a quantitative description of them.
For this quantitative treatment it is essential to be familiar with the differential calculus of more than one variable and the integral calculus of one variable, aspects addressed in the subject "Mathematics I".
The knowledge about the macroscopic description of the chemical systems that will be achieved in this subject is complemented with the contents of the "Physical Chemistry II" of the second semester and with the subject "Physical Chemistry V" of the third year.
