Course description:
|
|
This is a second part of Laboratory providing a practical demonstration of the topics covered by Physical Chemistry I lecture. The exercises in semester 4th comprise: electrochemistry and kinetics. The students determine: molar conductivities of weak and strong electrolytes, mean activity coefficient of electrolyte, thermodynamic functions of the reaction in the cell, standard potentials, parameters of Arrhenius equation, influence of the ionic strength on the chemical rate constant. The students investigate the kinetics of various chemical reaction and influence of catalyst on the reaction rate. They also study the kinetics of the electrode reactions.
