- Synopsis:
-
The lecture deals with chemical thermodynamics as one of the most important parts of physical chemistry. Students will gain insight and knowledge in this area. Considerable attention is paid to the description of ideal and real gases. Thoroughly are discussed thermodynamic laws, thermodynamic equilibrium and their consequences on both one and more component systems (phase equilibrium, phase diagrams). The lectures also include a description of the behaviour of ideal and real solutions. Further, following thermodynamic aspects of chemical reactions are discussed: chemical equilibrium, equilibrium constant and degree of conversion. The last section is devoted to non-equilibrium thermodynamics.The course includes exercises that are dedicated to the practical application of acquired theoretical knowledge. Basic thermodynamic concepts and relationships are practiced. The calculations are in line with lectures and deepen the theoretical knowledge.
