Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, the student knows the theoretical foundations necessary for understanding the structure of matter, in its atomic and molecular constituents. The scientific treatment of the phenomena underlying the transformation of food is acquired with models suitable for the rigorous description of the stability and kinetic aspects.

Course contents

Structure of matter. Mixtures of substances. States of aggregation.
Atoms and their periodic properties. Chemical bonds and stability of matter. Structure of molecules and chemical formulas. The concept of mole. Reactions and balancing of chemical equations. Chemical thermodynamics and dynamic equilibria. Solutions and solubility. Acids and bases. Oxidations. Reactions rates and temperature effect.

Assessment methods

The end-of-course exam aims to evaluate the achievement of the educational objectives:
-Describe food matter through the construction of simplified models that justify the observed properties
- Describe the composition of food from a chemical point of view with properties of language and scientific rigor
- Describe the phenomena that lead to the transformation of substances.
The exam includes an oral interview with questions from the teacher aimed at testing the ability to apply logical processes to explain, on scientific basis, the structure of foods and their chemical transformation.
