Comment
10013101 (former UVA) is identical with this course description.
The course cannot be chosen by students who: passed KE523. Is only allowed for Pharmacy students.
Entry requirements
Academic preconditions
The course is based on fundamental knowledge within general and organic chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics, corresponding to the first year of the study programme.
Course introduction
The course aims to make the students familiar with the application of a variety of physical chemistry concepts to solve problems within a range of contexts in the scope of pharmacy.
The course builds on the knowledge acquired in the courses FF503, MM556 and FY528 and gives an academic basis for studying topics that involve basic physical chemistry concepts.
In relation to the competence profile of the degree it is the explicit focus of the course to:
- Give understanding of a range of concepts in physical chemistry
- To apply such knowledge to solving problems
Expected learning outcome
The learning objectives of the course is that the student demonstrates the ability to:
- Apply the ideal gas law and explain deviations from ideality for real gases.
- Apply the thermodynamic laws and be able to use concepts such as internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, free energy, as well as their dependence on pressure and temperature.
- Interpret phase diagrams for pure substances and use the relevant formulae to describe quantitatively the different part of such a phase diagram.
- Apply thermodynamics to the quantitative description of simple mixtures of gases and fluids, including use of the chemical potential.
- Apply thermodynamics to equilibrium chemistry for situations with deviations from ideality, including being able to use the concept of activity.
- Describe time dependence using kinetics and the associated integrated expressions, and relate this to equilibrium chemistry and thermodynamics.
- Combine aforementioned competences to solve problems in physical chemistry.
Content
The following main topics are contained in the course:
- The properties of gases
- 1st law of thermodynamics, energy, enthalpy
- 2nd law of thermodynamics, entropy, Helmholtz and Gibbs functions
- Chemical potential
- The concept of activity
- Sublimation, vaporization and fusion of pure substances
- Mixtures, binary phase diagrams, colligative properties
- Chemical reactions and equilibria
- Gas liquid interfaces and interfacial tension
- Reaction kinetics
