Teaching Division:

Physical Chemistry

Educational and
professional goals:


Illustration of the material presented during the Physical Chemistry II lecture. Students will be able to apply practically physicochemical methods in studies of interfacial processes, kinetics of chemical and electrochemical reactions and transport phenomena occurring in electrolyte solutions.

Course description:

The laboratory training will be focused on the following topics:

1. Interfacial and aggregation phenomena:
    - adsorption at the gas/liquid interface
    - adsorption at the liquid/solid interface
    - micellization in surfactant solutions
2. Transport phenomena occurring in the solution or at phase boundaries:
    - liquid junction potentials in aqueous electrolyte solutions
    - ionic transport numbers
    - ionically selective and non-selective membranes (Donnan potential)
3. Chemical kinetics:
    - kinetics of clock reactions
    - enzymatic catalysis and inhibition
    - kinetics of electrode reactions

Required background:


Physical Chemistry I course (lecture, laboratory, classes)

Form of assessment:


Laboratory reports and tests.

Remarks:

Recommended for students specializing in physical chemistry, analytical chemistry and inorganic chemistry.
