| Course objective :
| In the second course on general chemistry ( General Chemistry II), the topics introduced during the first course (General Chemistry I) are described in details to open the way to the generalisation of physico-chemical concepts and their applications.
The topics of the course are grouped in 5 chapters.
Chapter 1 is intended to give solid basis in classical thermodynamics starting from an extended introduction to its microscopic description. These concepts are applied to equilibrium situations in chapter 2. Thermodynamic and kinectic aspects of electrochemistry are presented in chapter 3. 10 hours are devoted to thermodynamic under extreme conditions and to an introduction to spectroscopy (organised Prof. B. Leyh). | |
