TIMEPERIOD: Q I LANGUAGE:English/Swedish EXAMINER Allan Holmgren Univ lekt PREREQUISITES 10 points in mathematics as well as one of the following courses: KMK013, KMK042, KMK049, KMK060, KMK061 or a corresponding course. COURSE AIM The goal of the course is that the student, after completion of the course, should - be able to apply the four laws of thermodynamics - be able to use state functions in chemical calculations - be well aquainted with the concepts: activity and partial molar quantities - be able to construct and interpret phase diagrams - be able to obtain thermodynamic functions from cell potential measurements - be able to present analytical expressions for the rate of chemical reactions CONTENTS The course covers chemical thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. The following concepts are included: ideal- and non-ideal gases, thermodynamical state functions, maximum work, activity, partial molar quantities, colligative properties, phase diagrams, electrochemical equilibria, reaction order, activation energy and enzyme catalysis. The theory is applied during laboratory and calculation exercises. TEACHING The course is presented in the form of lectures and laboratory exercises. The laboratory exercises are compulsory. EXAMINATION Approved laboratory reports and approved written examination with differentiated grades. COURSE GRADE SCALE: U,3,4,5 ITEMS/CREDITS | |
