Aim:
To give a fundamental knowledge in physical chemistry concerning thermodynamics and surface chemistry. To give an explanation on thermodynamic base of physical and technical processes.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
The student must have attended General chemistry NKEA26 or 20, Organic Chemistry 1 NKEA27, Biochemistry 1 NKEA28 and also Mathematics A - B NMAA33 - 34 or equivalent.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Chemical bonding NKEC62, Computational chemistry NKEC70, Surface & colloid chemistry TFKi30.

Organisation:
Lectures/lessons, laborations and computer exercises. The laboration course includes a minor project which is accounted for in a short seminar.
