Key words
Physical chemistry

Objectives
As Physical Chemistry I gains insights in chemical thermodynamics and phase equilibria and diagrams, Physical chemistry II treats (electro)chemical equilibria, concepts concerning molecules in motion and processes at solid surfaces. Students acquire the necessary knowledge to optimize chemical processes.

Topics
Chemical equilibrium
Equilibrium electrochemistry
Molecular motion in gases and liquids (a.o. electrolytes)
Processes at solid surfaces (adsorption and heterogeneous catalysis)


Prerequisites
Competences acquired in introduction courses and physical chemistry I.

Final Objectives
Specific competence 1:
To be able to acquire and implement complex physico-chemical knowledge and skills (SC1)

Specific competence 2:
To be able to apply (complex) chemical reaction mechanisms (SC2)

General competence 1:
To be able to think, to judge and to act permanently in a critical, creative and scientific way (AC1)

General competence 2:
To be able to implement scientific-disciplinary insights on complex engineering technical problems (AIC1)
among others:
- be able to analyse and understand scientific literature concerning processes at solid surfaces

Assessment
Theory: Oral examination with written preparation. 57%
Exercises (Tests) 43%

A weighted average is used to compute the final score for a training item. However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetences is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus.
