Analytical Chemistry 1755-F2-CHFIZ-J

The main purpose of the subject "Physical chemistry" is to familiarize students with the basics of physical chemistry enabling understanding of the laws governing physicochemical processes occurring in nature and to master the terminology and mathematical apparatus describing these phenomena. During the theoretical and practical classes, students acquire the skills to apply acquired knowledge in solving various problems and interpreting observed physicochemical phenomena. Due to the fact that the subject "Physical chemistry" deals with the study of phenomena occurring in macroscopic and intermolecular systems, the theoretical foundations allow students to understand many of the biochemical transformations and processes occurring in living organisms, and thus the selection criteria when designing pharmacological and diagnostic molecules principles of their operation in living organisms. Laboratory exercises support the consolidation of messages transmitted during lectures and develop skills in the practical use of experimental and theoretical methods when solving problems in the field of physical chemistry. Students mastering the rules and laws in the field of physical chemistry and their links with the quantitative and qualitative approach acquire the basis for understanding the basics of chemical instrumental analysis and many laboratory-diagnostic methods.
As part of the content of education in the subject "Physical chemistry" the student gains knowledge of the objectives and tasks of physical chemistry. Acquires the ability to make physicochemical measurements and to develop statistical results obtained through direct and indirect measurements. In addition, he learns and uses auxiliary calculation methods. During the course, the student gains professional knowledge of the thermodynamics department, i.e. the first law of thermodynamics, thermochemistry, heat dependence on temperature (Kirchoff's law), the second law of thermodynamics, entropy changes in physico-chemical processes and the calculation of these changes, criteria for spontaneity of processes chemical, calculation of free enthalpy changes, relationships between thermodynamic functions, chemical affinity, chemical equilibria and the law of mass action; Le Chatelier-Brown perversity rules, calculation of standard affinity and equilibrium constant. In the solutions and phase equilibria department, the student learns: one-component systems (perfect gases, real gas, liquid solutions, solids), colloidal systems, surface phenomena, equilibria in multiphase systems, thermodynamics of phase equilibria, Gibbs phase rule, Clausius-Clapeyron equation. Presented contents from the chemical kinetics department allow the student to become familiar with: homogeneous reaction rate, simple reaction kinetics (zero, first, second order reactions), complex reaction kinetics (reversible, parallel, follow-up, chain reactions), kinetic theories, catalysis and enzymatic reactions. The last department implemented allows the student to acquire knowledge in the field of electrochemistry elements, namely: conductivity of aqueous electrolyte solutions, galvanic cells, oxidation-reduction potential, characteristics of half-cells, electrolysis, Faraday's law and corrosion phenomenon.
