Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Goal: get known to and understanding of the basics in Physical Chemistry

Content:
Ideal and real gases
Kinetic gas theory,
First, second and third law of thermodynamics,
Phase equilibria,
Mixtures,
Introduction to interfaces,
Limits of classical thermodynamics,
Chemical equilibria,
Introduction to chemical reaction kinetics,
Basics of electro-chemistry,

Methods:
Lecture in presence, optional flipped classroom units – for these units offline videos will be provided via the moodle. The lectures in presence are together with LV 270030 'Physikalische Chemie I - Einführung und Thermodynamik' (new Bachelor). The chapters 'Introduction to chemical reaction kinetics' and 'Basics of electro-chemistry' will be provided in Moodle based on offline video lectures.

Problems will be provided via moodle which can be solved voluntary.

Participation in Übung zur Physikalischen Chemie (LV 270051) – an accompanying practice - is recommended.

Assessment and permitted materials

Examintion: written exam (Lehrveranstaltungsprüfung) in presence, in German, 3h

Permitted utilities:
- simple (!) scientific calculator
- set square
- a sheet of paper (DIN A4) with notes written by hand, this is NO copies, NO print outs! Notes: one-sided only! The notes are part of the written exam and have to be handed in at the end of the exam. The notes are graded! A useful application of three notes in the exam is valued 5 points in the exam.
