Syllabus
THERMODYNAMICS
The first law (internal energy, enthalpy, heat capacity). Thermochemistry (enthalpies of physical and chemical changes, Kirchhoff´s law). The second law (entropy, the Gibbs and Helmholtz energies, the statistical entropy). The third law (Nernst heat theorem, third-law entropies). Quantities for description of mixtures (partial molar quantities, chemical potential, fugacity, activity). The thermodynamics of mixing (state mixing functions). Phase equilibria (Gibbs phase rule, Clapeyron and Clausius-Clapeyron equation, Henry's law, Raoult's law, colligative properties, partition equilibrium). Chemical equilibrium (degree of conversion, extent of reaction, the reaction Gibbs energy, equilibrium constant, the van't Hoff equations, equilibrium composition).
Annotation
Subject Physical chemistry is divided into two courses (MC260P01M and MC260P02M). The first course is aimed at the thermodynamics. It does not deal with structure of atoms and molecules, interaction of matter and radiation and state properties of substances. These topics are involved in other courses (general and inorganic chemistry). Statistical thermodynamics is also omitted.
Lectures are accompanied by exercises.
