The course of physical chemistry practical 3 is one of the compulsory courses for students in the chemistry program. To study this course, the student must pass the course of physical chemistry 5 and practical physical chemistry 2. The course of physical chemistry practical 3 is concerned with determining the rate of a chemical reaction, determining the order of the reaction, the reaction rate tab, and the half-life period for first- and second-order reactions, the student studies the catalytic dissociation of some chemical compounds in the presence of a catalyst. The student works to determine the reaction rate constant, activation energy, and frequency coefficient for some chemical reactions by studying the effect of temperature on the reaction rate constant. Students study the adsorption of acetic acid by activated charcoal.
Course objectives
That the student be proficient in conducting practical experiments in kinetic chemistry and be able to estimate the rate, rank and constant of the speed of a chemical reaction, study the role of the catalyst in chemical reactions and determine the activation energy graphically.
Intended learning outcomes
The student should understand the basics of kinetic chemistry and be familiar with calculating the concentrations of different solutions and the calibration procedure. The student should understand the theoretical basis for each experiment. The student should link the given laws and the results of the experiments through the graph, conclude what he sees in the experiment, and try to interpret the results and write a report on that
The class work score represents 60% of the final total, divided by 30% for the written midterm exams, 30% for the oral and practical exams, and the remaining 40% for the final exam.
