Physical chemistry course 4 is one of the compulsory courses for students in the chemistry program. To study this course, a prerequisite is required for the student to pass, which is physical chemistry course 3, code CH354. Physical chemistry course 4 is concerned with the study of electrochemistry.This course aims to introduce the student to the basics of electrochemistry, the thermodynamic properties of ions in solutions, knowledge of the types of electrochemical cells, applications of potential reduction, electrodes for half-cell interactions, and Debye-Hückel theory.
Intended learning outcomes
After passing this course, the student will be able to understand the contents of electrochemistry, distinguish between the selection of electrodes and their use, know and study the relationship between concentration and potential difference (Nernst equation), and know the activity of the ion inside the solution through the study of Debye-Hockel theory.
Teaching and learning methods
Teaching the course is based on theoretical explanation using the blackboard, calligraphy, and discussion.
Methods of assessments
The class work score represents 40% of the final total, divided by 30% for written midterm exams, 10% for homework, mini-scientific research, and short exams, and the remaining 60% for the final exam.
