Elective Module 5: Physical Chemistry (5 ECTS-Credits, 5 h)
Prerequisites for registration: successful completion of compulsory module 17
Learning Outcome: The students are able to
¿ describe and calculate the thermodynamics of real gases using equations of state, including consideration of deviations from ideal gas behaviour;
¿ interpret phase diagrams of single-substance systems, binary and ternary mixtures and explain them on the basis of thermodynamics, including the concept of fugacity, partial molar quantities and excess quantities;
¿ describe and apply the thermodynamics of surfaces, including the description of surface tension and wetting phenomena as well as the basics of non-equilibrium thermodynamics;
¿ describe the concept of thermodynamic potentials and apply it to problems;
¿ carry out basic research in physical chemistry, including the application of modern concepts and equipment.
¿ plan, conduct, analyse and interpret experiments and identify and minimise sources of error;
¿ present experimental results precisely and comprehensibly in writing and orally and discuss them critically.
