Physical Chemistry

Educational and
professional goals:

The physical chemistry course is to lay foundations in thermodynamics, thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics and to present how to use in practice the laws describing physicochemical phenomena.

Course description:

The third semester course comprises:

- The first, the second and the third laws of thermodynamics, state functions, phenomenological and molecular interpretation of energy and entropy, Gibbs energy, conditions of equilibrium

- Entalphy changes heat capacities and basis of thermochemistry

- Partial molar quantities and chemical potential of pure substance and substance in the mixture,

- Ideal and real solutions

- Thermodynamics of phase equilibria. Phase diagrams for one- and many-component systems; zeotrops, azeotrops, eutectics, partially miscible solutions,

- Thermodynamics of mixtures

- Colligative properties of the solutions

- Chemical equilibrium, the equilibrium constant and its temperature dependence, relation to Gibbs standard function, free entalpy of reaction

- Kinetic theory of gases, van der Waals equation

- Introduction to thermodynamics of irreversible processes.
