Physical chemistry course 5 is one of the compulsory courses for
students in the chemistry program. To study this course, the student must pass
the physical chemistry 3 course. Physical chemistry course 5 is concerned with
studying the rate of chemical reaction and the factors affecting it, calculating
the rate of chemical reactions, studying the orders of different chemical
reactions, and determining the reaction rank Practical methods for measuring
the reaction rate. The student also studies the effect of temperature on the
reaction rate, methods for determining the activation energy, active
superposition and collision theories. The student learns about complex
reactions, reactions in solutions, parallel reactions, and the basics of
catalysis and adsorption.
The course aims to enable the student to understand the
kinetics of chemical reactions and their different theories and the chemistry
of catalysis and surfaces.
Intended learning outcomes
That the student recognize
the concept and role of kinetic chemistry in studying the rate and mechanism of
a chemical reaction, and know the factors that affect it, and the student
remembers the laws related to matter, and the student distinguishes between the
reaction molecules and the order of the reaction and determines the order of
the reaction and compares between the different types of complex reactions and
learn about adsorption and the role Catalysts in chemical reactions
Teaching and learning methods
Theoretical lectures, panel
discussions and solving exercises using the blackboard and calligraphy.
Methods of assessments
The class work score
represents 40% of the final total, divided by 30% for written midterm exams,
10% for assignments, mini-scientific reports, and written and oral exams, and
the remaining 60% for the final exam.
