Competencies

After completing the seminar, the students possess fundamental and advanced knowledge of physical chemistry. They can confidently identify and apply basic and advanced principles of chemical thermodynamics to chemical reactions. The students are able to analyze, interpret, and explain the reaction kinetics of complex chemical reactions. They can clearly explain fundamental electrochemical experiments. The students are capable of quantitatively describing changes in matter and mixed systems using thermodynamic functions, and they can provide molecular explanations for these changes. Additionally, they can assess the conditions under which simplified equations are applicable for describing colligative properties and make predictions about these properties using those equations. The students can describe the fundamental interactions between light and matter. They are also able to select appropriate spectroscopic methods for specific questions and evaluate the spectra of simple substances.

Content of teaching

The module outlines the topics that are covered in the field of physical chemistry within the Bachelor’s program in Sustainable Chemistry. Students independently identify the areas where they need to catch up on content and acquire this knowledge using the provided literature and other materials. Opportunities for question-and-answer sessions will be made available.
