Course description:
|
|
Laboratory experiments provide a practical demonstration of the topics covered by Physicsl Chemistry I lecture. The level B is extended version of level A. In the third semester the exercises comprise the following sections: thermodynamics, thermochemistry, and phase diagrams, chemical equilibrium, properties of molecules and interfaces. The students perform the experimental work individually and present the results in the form of written reports. During the course the students determine various physicochemical parameters as enthalpy of vaporization and phase transitions between liquid and solid states, viscosity, surface tension, dipole moment and activity coefficients. They construct and interpret phase diagrams for two-component systems. Student has ability to use modern chemical techniques and to learn computational methods (for example UNIFAC) developed for the studies of thermodynamics of two-component systems.
