Area of Education: Science Subject area: Chemistry |
|||
| Advancement level
(A-D): B
|
|||
| Aim: The course is intended to give the student a good orientation in basic physical chemistry - the theory as well as the laboratory work - thus giving him/her a fundamental base for further studies in chemistry and biology. The aim of the laborations is to shed light on the theory and to give the student skills in the laboratory technology of physical chemistry. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) TFKE03 General Chemistry 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: TFKE15 Organic Chemistry, TFKE25 Biochemistry and TFKE30 Analytical Chemistry |
|||
| Organisation: Lectures and laborations dominates. A few lessons with problem solving concerning certain parts of the theory are included. |
|||
| Course contents: Lectures and lessons: Ideal and van der Waals gases. Intermolecular forces. Chemical thermodynamics; first, second and third laws, enthalpy and thermochemistry, entropy and spontaneous reactions, Gibbs free energy. Properties of solutions; colligative properties. Phase equilibria. Chemical equilibrium; calculations, changes of the equilibrium situation by extern variables. Electrochemistry; galvanic cells and electrolysis, connections to thermodynamics, Pourbaix diagrams. Chemical kinetics; rate laws and mechanisms. Transition metals: Properties, abundance and complexes. Ligand field theory and spectroscopy. Laborations: Thermochemistry, Chemical equilibrium, Phase equilibria, Kinetic, Electrochemistry and Metal complexes. |
