Course/Module description:
The course introduces the basic laws of physical chemistry for pharmacy and earth sciences students. It specifically deals with thermodynamics and kinetics.
Course/Module aims:
The goal of the course is to introduce two branches of physical chemistry: kinetics and thermodynamics.
In kinetics, to present the basic concepts of reaction rate for general and enzymatic reactions and in thermodynamics to introduce the basic rules and their use.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
1. Be acquainted with the fundamentals of physical chemistry - thermodynamics and kinetics - and to be able to discuss them using science terminology, and qualitative and quantitative considerations.
2. Understand the energetic concepts that drive chemical reactions and physical changes
3. Understand the relationship between macroscopic properties and the molecular make up of matter
4. Know the fundamental concepts of chemical kinetics.
