The Fisicoquímica involves a field as general study that compares with anything that reacts, has life and manifests as sustainable development in nature, for physical chemistry is a study done everything that works by means of interactions of chemistry with movement and everything that is physical. Physicochemistry is theoretically a branch of chemistry, therefore, it represents all that application of chemistry to natural phenomena on earth. Physicochemistry studies thermodynamics, electrochemistry and quantum mechanics from a very atomic point of view.
Physicochemistry was born from the interest in studying the different electrical reaction systems that are manifested in chemical compounds, from this different techniques were developed to use chemical compounds studied in laboratories for the design of fuels, in many cases fossils. The electrochemical and thermochemical, as major fields of study of physical chemistry since as mentioned above, led to the development of fuel and means for using machines that allow the evolution of humanity, this is a very important topic when make a must-see of the industrial revolutionand its impact on society. The most notable studies of physicochemistry were Alessandro Volta, to whom the development of different works in favor of conducting electricity is owed, including the volt unit that comes with that name in honor of him.
A Michael Faraday he also owes much work for the contribution of physical chemistry as the enunciate the first laws of electrolysis, which dictate the following: 1. The mass of an altered substance at an electrode during is electrolysis directly proportional to the amount of electricity transferred to this electrode. The amount of electricity refers to the amount of electrical charge, which is generally measured in coulombs. 2. For a given amount of electricity (electrical charge), the mass of an elemental material altered in an electrode is directly proportional to the equivalent weight of the element. The equivalent weight of a substance is its molar mass divided by an integer that depends on the reaction that takes place in the material.
