Physical chemistry, exercises 1100-2INZ03c
Topics:
a) calculating the values of thermodynamic functions (internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs free energy, Helmholtz free energy) and their changes related to variations in the physical parameters of a system or the occurrence of physical transformations or chemical reactions within it.
b) chemical equilibria in reaction systems.
c) calculating kinetic parameters of chemical reactions.
d) calculating quantities describing the electrochemical properties of aqueous electrolyte solutions and electrode systems (ion activity, conductivity, electrode potential at equilibrium, electromotive force of cells, use of electrochemical measurement data to determine system parameters at equilibrium, numerical analysis of electrode process kinetics under various physicochemical conditions).

Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, the student analyzes and explains various aspects and methodologies of addressing computational problems.
They solve numerical problems in physical chemistry within the fields of thermodynamics and thermochemistry, chemical kinetics, and electrochemistry.
Assessment criteria
Classes are divided into two blocks ending with tests. The average of the results obtained is converted into final grades according to the list below:
0-50.00% resit test
50.01-60.00% dst (3)
60.01-70.00% dst+ (3+)
70.01-80.00% db (4)
80.01-90.00% db+ (4+)
90.01-99.75% bdb (5)
99.76-100.00% bdb+ (5+)
To pass the course, each test must be passed (the student must obtain at least 50.01% of the points). Persons who obtained 50% or less (in one or both tests) take a re-sit test covering the failed material (in one or both tests). The resit test takes place after both partial tests.
The final score will be a weighted average of the results obtained during the first attempt at the test and the resit test according to the following formula:
P=1/3x(PI) + 2/3x(Padd)
Where:
P – final result in percentage,
PI - percentage result obtained during the first attempt at the test (in case of correcting one test - percentage result from the first attempt at it; in case of correcting both tests - percentage results from test I and test II),
Padd - percentage result obtained on the additional test.
The condition for passing is to obtain a P value above 50%.
Attendance at classes is obligatory (two unexcused absences allowed)
