3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
Chemical Thermodynamics is a branch of Physical Chemistry that studies the effects of changes in magnitudes of systems at a macroscopic level. It constitutes a phenomenological theory, based on deductive reasoning, that studies real systems, without modeling and follows an experimental method. The changes studied are those of temperature, pressure, volume and composition. We can also say that thermodynamics was born to explain the processes of exchange of mass and thermal energy between different thermal systems. More specifically, heat means "energy in transit" and dynamics refers to "movement", so, in essence, thermodynamics studies the circulation of energy and how this energy affects, in our case, the stability and reactivity of chemical substances. Historically, thermodynamics was developed out of the need to increase the efficiency of the first steam engines.

Here we analyze one of the colligative properties, the drop in the freezing point of a solvent when adding a solute, which allows us to calculate the activity coefficient and the molecular mass of the solute. In the proposed experiment the freezing point of a solution containing a known weight of a solute, for example glycerin in a known amount of water, is determined. We need a simple apparatus that consists of a test tube containing the solution, a stirrer and a thermometer (for example a precision digital of ¿0.01ºC). The test tube is isolated in a methanol bath, and placed in a mixture of ice and salt at a temperature so low as to allow freezing of the solutions.

The corresponding triangular phase diagram is constructed and the binodal curve (curve showing the limits of immiscibility) and the critical point (point at which the two miscible phases have the same composition) are determined.
