Mandatory / Class: 2nd / Physical Chemistry / CH 242

Teaching scheme: 3 hours lecture and 1 hour tutorial per week Credits: 6

Course discretion:

The physical chemistry course covered the Energetic introduction to phase equilibria; Phase equilibria involving two-component systems; Types of chemical reactions with application, criteria of catalysis – Homogeneous catalysis (gases, liquids), Ultramicroscope, Electrolytic conductance, First and second law of faraday-application of electrolytic conductivity Electrochemistry.

Objectives:

  • To impart the basic concepts of fluid and particle mechanics
  • To develop understanding about viscosity, fluid flow and machinery

Specific learning outcome:

  • understand the energetics that drive chemical reactions and physical changes;
  • understand the relationship between macroscopic properties and the molecular make up of matter;
  • Read and understand the research literature concerning quantitative aspects of chemical equilibria and phase transitions.
  • define the fundamental concepts of quantum chemistry, using models for the energies encountered for atoms and molecules;
  • discuss their applications to atomic and molecular spectroscopy;
  • know the fundamental concepts of chemical kinetics
