The course aims at providing students with theoretical and laboratory knowledge in the areas of thermodynamics, conductimetry and electrochemistry.
Teaching Methods
Frontal lessons and material provided by the teachers
Assessment Methods
Written test based on solving problems. Oral examination. Assessment of the report on the laboratory experiences.
Texts
-Peter Atkins Julio de Paula, Physical Chemistry, Fourth Edition Italian, Freeman Material provided by the teacher
Contents
The necessary arguments to deal with later laboratory experiments are first introduced at the theoretical level. The focus is on the theory of ion transport (strong and weak electrolytes, transport number, Einstein, Nernst-Einstein, Stokes-Einstein equations), on electrochemical systems (coefficient of activity, galvanic and electrolytic cells, Nernst equation, the Nernst scale of the electrochemical potentials). Exercises will be proposed on the same topics discussed on the theoretical level. The second part of the course will consist of laboratory experiments of conductimetry and electrochemistry.
