619-2001 – Physical Chemistry (FCH)

- to utilize the fundamental thermodynamic quantities (enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs energy) for the system behaviour describing; - to describe the chemical equilibrium, to illustrate the influence of temperature and pressure; - to describe the phase equilibrium, the Gibbs phase rule, phase equilibrium of pure substances; - to define and to utilize basic terms of chemical kinetics - rate of chemical reaction, rate law and rate constants, reaction order. To illustrate the temperature dependence of reaction rates; - to describe basic processes of heterogeneous reactions – diffusion, adsorption - to determine the rate-limiting step for heterogeneous processes - to apply obtained theoretical knowledge in tutorials and laboratory and on selected processes of chemical practice.

The topic of the subject is Chemical Thermodynamics (thermodynamical description of the systems and processes, chemical and phase equilibria) and Chemical Kinetics (rate analysis of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions).
