Learning Outcomes
Competences
This course introduces students to the basics of physical chemistry, which revolves around the topics of systems, states and transformation processes focussing on fundamental thermodynamics. Students learn scientifically sound, fundamental and method-orientated knowledge of chemical thermodynamics, which they can use to understand and explain chemical processes. They are given an overview of the most important physical-chemical terms and concepts with which they can describe material systems and their physical-chemical conversion processes. In the exercises, calculation techniques on these topics are deepened and, in particular, the ability to solve application tasks reliably is taught.
Skills Knowledge
Specifically, after completing the course, they will be capable of - correctly using, explaining and applying specific terms and concepts of thermodynamics in their own words. (k2, k3, k4) - relating or transforming different thermodynamic quantities such as heat and work from one to the other. (k3, k4) - describing chemical equilibria and phase equilibria of single-phase systems qualitatively and quantitatively within the framework of thermodynamics. (k2, k3, k4) - applying the contents of the lecture in practice using calculation examples and to work out solutions independently. (k3, k5) - presenting their results on the blackboard and discuss them orally. (k3, k6) Underlying concepts and details of - concepts in thermodynamics, different thermodynamic quantities such as heat and work and how they are measured, related or transformed from one to the other - concepts of thermodynamic laws and important quantities described - states of matter and how they depend on temperature and pressure as well as how they co-exist in phase equilibria - chemical equilibrium and its relationship with thermodynamic quantities
