COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course objectives

The aims of the course are to enable students to:
- perform measurements in the laboratory individually or in a team, present and process measurement data.
- apply acquired knowledge and skills in professional and specialist courses.

Course enrolment requirements and entry competences required for the course

Enrolled in or passed the course Physical Chemistry II

Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes)

Upon successful completion of the program, students will be able to:
1. Perform experiments and measurements in the laboratory.
2. Explain different physicochemical dependencies of the examined systems.
3. Calculate physicochemical parameters using thermodynamic and kinetic equations.
4. Interpret experimental and numerical data.

Course content broken down in detail by weekly class schedule (syllabus)

Exercises in Laboratory for Physical Chemistry (5 hours weekly):
1. week: Vapour pressure of pure liquid.
2. week: Surface tension and refractometric determination of composition of two-component mixture.
3. week: Viscosity.
4. week: Colligative properties.
5. week: Adsorption from aqueous solution.
6. week: Equilibrium constant of homogeneous reaction.
7. week: Phase diagram for three-component system.
8. week: Transference numbers by Hittorf method.
9. week: Conductometry and conductometric titrations.
10. week: Galvanic cell and electrode potentials.
11. week: Rate constant of inversion of sucrose by polarimetric method.
12. week: Conductometric determination of the rate constant of hydrolysis of ethyl acetate.

Format of instruction:

Student responsibilities

Completed all laboratory exercises (100 %).
Student must show theoretical knowledge before each practical work or experiments (12 partial oral exams).
Student must write 12 reports with complete experimental and calculated data: All reports should contains tables and graphical dependencies. At the end of report put conslusion.

Screening student work (name the proportion of ECTS credits for eachactivity so that the total number of ECTS credits is equal to the ECTS value of the course):

Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam

Continually evaluation: (success (%) / share in evaluating (%):
- presence and activities in the laboratory: (100 / 10)
- laboratory exercises (measurements): (60 - 100 / 25)
- 12 partial test: (60 - 100 / 25)
- 12 final reports: (60 - 100 / 40)
