Teaching Division:

Theoretical Chemistry and Crystallography

Educational and
professional goals:

Acquiring the skill of using the statistical model to calculate thermodynamic functions (entropy, free energy, etc.) for specific chemical systems, to study chemical equilibria and to estimate rates of chemical reactions. Another, equally important objective of the course is to show students how the statistical model enables us to understand the laws of thermodynamics and the relation between the properties of individual molecules and properties of matter in the bulk.

Course description:

Solving problems illustrating the topics covered during the lecture Statistical Thermodynamics. Typical problems are solved during the teaching hours and additional problems are given as a homework.

Required background:


Physical Chemistry I, Basic Quantum Chemistry, Basic Spectroscopy.

Form of assessment:

Students get a credit for the course according to the grades received after solving the assignment problems.
