TFKI77 Physical Chemistry, ECTS-points
/FYSIKALISK KEMI/

Advancement level:
B

Aim:
The course is intended to give the student a good orientation in basic physical chemistry - the theory as well as the laboratory practice - thus giving him/her a fundamental base for further studies in chemistry and technology. The aim of the laborations is to shed light on the theory and to give him/her hability in the laboratory techniques of physical chemistry.

Prerequisites:
TFKI76 General chemistry.

Supplementary courses:
TFKI78 Inorganic Chemistry, TFKI79 Organic Chemistry,

Course organization:
Lectures and laborations dominates. A few lessons with solving of problems from certain parts of the theory are included.

Course content:
Lectures and lessons: The ideal gas equation and van der Waals gases. Intermolecular forces. Properties of solids, liquids and solutions; colligative properties. Phase equilibria. Chemical kinetics; rate laws and mechanisms. Chemical equilibrium; calculations, changes of the equilibrium situation by extern variables. Chemical thermodynamics; first, second and third laws, enthalpy and thermochemistry, entropy and spontaneous reactions, Gibbs free energy and equilibrium. Phase equilibria. Electrochemistry; galvanic cells and electrolysis, connections to thermodynamics. Laborations: Thermochemistry, Destillation Phase equilibria, Kinetics and Electrochemistry.
