Instruction content/structure

This course imparts fundamental knowledge about Physical chemistry including the following subject areas.

  1. Physical states of matter and substances
  2. Chemical thermodynamics
  3. Kinetics 
  4. Equilibria (thermal and chemical equilibria)
Qualification objectives

Students acquire basic knowledge of the principles of physical processes and chemical reactions. They will be able to

  • assess chemical reactions regarding metabolism, heat balance, kinetics and equilibrium
  • manage simple reaction approaches
  • create reaction equations and evaluate chemical processes/states by means of quantitative calculations
  • evaluate analysis data to develop an understanding of and to assess chemical reactions

The students learn to apply their knowledge to practical tasks and to solve engineering problems effectively.
