| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| Students will access fundamental concepts related to the basic aspects of electrochemistry.
|
|
| Skills |
Knowledge |
| Upon completion of the course they will be able to
• use and recognize the terminology of redox chemistry and electrochemistry as well as SI units and quantity calculus. (k1, k2, k3)
• understand the principals of electrochemical cells, name all parts and apply the basic laws to analyze incomplete drawings. (k1, k2, k3, k4)
• understand the difference between potentials and voltage, know when to use which of both, being able from a theoretical point of view to measure voltages and potentials, know core elements of the galvanic series, use potentiometric titration, know how to measure AC and DC currents. (k1, k2, k3)
• understand electrical current, the different charge carriers in electrolytes and metals, convert currents to current densities, integrate current to charges, apply Faradays law, know how to measure AC and DC currents. (k1, k2, k3, k4)
• understand the concepts of resistance, polarization, impedance, admittance, transport number, transport mechanisms such as Grotthus mechanism, use conductometric indication in titrations, know how to measure R, Z, G. (k1, k2, k3, k4)
• understand the different types of electrodes RE (e.g. Ag|AgCl|3M KCl), CE (e.g. Au, Pt), WE. (k1, k2, k3, k4)
• have a basic understanding of how a scientific discipline evolves and know some researchers and their contribution. (k1, k2)
|
The course is divided into 6 lectures:
• SI units – quantity calculus and error calculus
• potentials
• current
• resistance
• electrodes
|
|
| Criteria for evaluation |
profound knowledge of the lecture content is required to answer the questions in the written exam, 5 questions with 20 points each are given where 1 consists of 5 multiple choice questions in which 0, 2 or 4 points can be achieved each. All other questions are divided into subquestions all aiming at different aspects of the same topic
|
| Methods |
terms, principles, devices and its use are presented in a context to get a basic understanding of the electrochemistry
|
| Language |
English |
| Study material |
frequent participation in the lecture is required, slides of the lecture are available in the KUSSS a few hours before the lecture, parts of the reactions, principles, drawings and processes are explained at the board, examples of materials and devices are shown in the lecture
