Prerequisites (description)

Student should have a basic knowledge in mathematics and physics on the level required after the first year of Chemistry. Namely, student should be able to solve simple differential equations, calculate simple integrals, plot the course of basic mathematic functions. Student should have a basic knowledge in classical mechanics, electricity and general chemistry

Learning outcomes

After the course the student:
- knows the basic terms and how to use them in thermodynamics, thermochemistry, chemical kinetics, electrochemistry,
- knows the main relationships in physical chemistry and how to use them to explain the physicochemical processes,
- knows and understands the basis of fundamental physicochemical processes,
- understands the phase diagrams for one-, two- and three-component systems
- is able to predict a direction of physicochemical processes after the change of various parameters, like temperature, pressure, concentration, potential,
- knows which experimental methods can be used in investigations of the physicochemical processes,
is able to determine the fundamental physicochemical parameters from the experimental data

Assessment criteria

After each semester, the student is obliged to pass the exam.
The exam is in the written form and consists of two parts:
- test (5 questions). Student has to justify the chosen answer.
- 6 open questions.
Exam is passed when the number of gained points is at least 50%.

According to the new study regulations, attendance in the lectures is mandatory. Absence in 4 lectures in the semester is accepted.

Practical placement

not required
