| Learning objective | The students are able • to explain the fundamentals of chemical kinetics and to analyse simple systems of chemical reactions • to explain the fundamentals of chemical thermodynamics, to calculate equilibria in systems with several substances and phases, and to correctly interpret phase diagrams • to quantitatively describe surface phenomena like surface tension, adsorption, and stability of colloids • to assess the order of magnitude and precision of the relevant variables of a system • to model physico-chemical phenomena mathematically and to solve these models • to analyse and scrutinise the assumptions behind such models • to apply these competences to real-world problems | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | 1. Kinetics of complex reactions: Pre-equilibrium, steady-state approximation, enzyme kinetics 2.
