Physical Chemistry 2 is a compulsory course for students in the Chemistry
programme. To study this course, the student must pass Physical Chemistry 1.
It studies an introduction to the
basics of thermochemistry, concentrated and comprehensive properties, types of
systems, processes that occur according to external conditions such as volume,
pressure, temperature, and the amount of heat in chemical systems, applications
of the first law of ideal gas thermodynamics, the relationship between
enthalpies ∆H and U, calculating effects Thermal Effects of Change, Hess's Law
and Law Consequences, Relationship of Thermal Effects of Change with
Temperature (Kirchhoff's Law), Calculation of Thermal Effects of Change, Second
Law of Thermodynamics and Entropy Changes with Temperature - Free Energy
Gibbs Energy, Zero Law of
Thermodynamics, Third Law of Thermodynamics.
Intended learning outcomes
after student this course to understand the types of thermochemical systems and thermodynamic laws, he will be familiar with the concept of chemical thermodynamics as an experimental science that helps determine the possibility and directions of reactions, and study the relationship of thermodynamic properties of materials to their chemical composition, internal structure and conditions. The student remembers the dependence of thermodynamics on two basic laws, the first law which is based on the principle of energy conservation and the determination of equilibrium conditions, and that the student distinguishes between types of processes according to external conditions and confirms the validity of the functions of the thermodynamic state.
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures,
theoretical explanation, panel discussions, and solution exercises using
projectors, blackboards, and calligraphers
Methods of assessments
The
class work score accounts for 40% of the final total, divided by 30% for
written midterm exams, 10% for assignments, mini-scientific reports, written
and oral exams, and the remaining 60% for the final exam
