Prerequisites:
None
Academic preconditions:
KE501 Fundamental chemistry, MM501 and MM502 as well as either FY501, FY519 or FY520 must have been attended.
Course introductionThe course aims at making the students familiar with the application of macroscopic thermodynamical concepts to physical-chemical problems within physics, chemistry and biology to an extent that will enable them to understand and, if necessary, apply a text where thermodynamical reasoning has been applied to such problems.
Expected learning outcomeAfter completing the course the student is expected to be able to:
- Apply the ideal gas law and explain deviations from ideality for real gases.
- Apply the thermodynamic laws and be able to use concepts such as internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, free energy, as well as their dependence on pressure and temperature.
- Interpret phase diagrams for pure substances and use the relevant formulae to describe quantitatively the different part of such a phase diagram.
- Apply thermodynamics to the quantitative description of simple mixtures of gasses and fluids, including use of the chemical potential.
- Apply thermodynamics to equilibrium chemistry and electrochemistry for situations with deviations from ideality, including being able to use the concept of activity.
- Describe the time dependence of chemical reactions using kinetics and the associated integrated expressions, and relate this to equilibrium chemistry and thermodynamics.
- Apply the concepts of interface voltage and interface excess.
- Combine aforementioned competences to solve problems in physical chemistry.
