Physical Chemistry - Laboratory 1200-1ENCHFIZL3
The physical chemistry laboratory prepares students to the practical use of experimental instruments, teaches how to plane and perform the experiments and how to elaborate the experimental data.
Proposed exercises:
1. The liquid vapor equilibrium in a single component system
2. Determination of the solution molar volume
3. Study of the equilibrium between the solid and liquid phase.
4. Calorimetric measurements of solutions
5. Evaluation of the heat and temperature of phase transitions using the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC)
6. Determination of dipole moments
7. Measurements of the kinematic viscosity of liquids
8. Nefelometric measurements of colloids
9. Influence of the catalyst concentration on the reaction rate constant
10. The effect of the ionic strength on the reaction rate constant
11. Determination of thermodynamical parameters of chemical reactions
12. Determination of activity coefficients of electrolytes
13. Measurements of conductivity of electrolyte solutions
14. The iodine clock reaction
15. Measurements of surface tension

Learning outcomes
After this course student should be able to analyze and explain the properties of inorganic compounds and describe suitable chemical reactions. In addition, student should be familiar with the techniques used in preparative chemistry and should be able to propose the synthesis and investigation methods of different inorganic compounds. He should be also able not only to record various type of spectra but also interpret them and understand their significance.
In addition, the student should be able to use effectively the English literature
Assessment criteria
Permanent evaluation (current preparation for experiments, activity in the laboratory and exercise report). At the beginning of the laboratory student have to pass a test, later he should be carry out experiments and interpret and discuss the obtained experimental data. Finally he has to give the written reports to the supervisor.
