Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Prerequisites

General chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and also Mathematics with basic algebra and differential and integral calculus.

Intended learning outcomes

The course should give a fundamental knowledge in the theory of thermodynamics and also give an explanation on thermodynamic base of physical and technical processes. To achieve those goals the student should able to:

Describe properties of ideal and real gases and the diffreneces between them.
Account for the condensation of gases and critical phenomena
Use concepts of thermochemistry to explain the energetics of chemical reactions.
Describe the concepts of entropy and the second law of thermodynamics, and be able to explain spontaneous processes, and the impacts on them from the conditions applied.
Use and make up phase diagrams in systems of one or more components and account for practical applications.
Perform calculations on chemical equilibria and describe the impacts on them from outer conditions, and give some practical examples.
Analyse, compile and account for laboratory exercise results in written reports.
Deduce if experimental or calculated results are reasonable.

Course content

Thermodynamics: The idea of a state and the state equations of ideal and real gases. The first law of thermodynamics, heat, work and thermochemistry. The second law, entropy and spontaneous reactions. Gibbs free energy and equilibria. Phase diagrams for one and two component systems. Chemical equilibria and their dependence on the applied conditions

Teaching and working methods

Lectures/lessons, laborations and computer exercises.
