Teaching Division:

Physics and Radiochemistry

Educational and
professional goals:

At the end of the course student should know how to plan investigations of physicochemical properties of liquid mixtures, describe the results and interpret them. He should have the basic knowledge on the influence of H/D isotope substitution on properties of water solutions of some organic and inorganic compounds.

Course description:

Lecture includes the following questions:

Methods of investigations of physicochemical properties. Working out of results. Thermodynamics of dissolving processes. Kinds of solutions. Isotope effects on solubility and enthalpy of solution of inorganic salts and some organic compounds. Influence of hydrogen/deuterium substitution on ions hydration. Ultrasounds speed in salts solutions. Limited miscibility of liquids. Phase diagrams. Influence of hydrogen/deuterium substitution on critical temperature of organic and water-organic mixtures. Isotope effects on polymer solubility in various solvents. Partial molar volume and isotope effects thereon. Origin and magnitude of refractive index isotope effect. Influence of hydrogen/deuterium substitution on compressibility and ultrasounds speed in liquid mixtures. H/D isotope effect on viscosity.
