Abstract1. Kinetics of complex reactions
2. Thermodynamics of mixtures and systems with several phases: Partition between phases, colligative properties of solutions, coexistence of phases, phase rule, phase diagrams
3. Phase boundaries: Surface tension, surface excess concentration, adsorption, colloids
Learning objectiveMore detailed knowledge of macroscopic physico-chemical phenomena
Content1. Kinetics of complex reactions: Pre-equilibrium, steady-state approximation, enzyme kinetics

RepetitionThe performance assessment is offered every session. Repetition possible without re-enrolling for the course unit.
Mode of examinationwritten 90 minutes
Additional information on mode of examinationAm Donnerstag, dem 23. Mai wird eine freiwillige Zwischenprüfung durchgeführt. Wenn die Note der Zwischenprüfung besser ist als die Note der Sessionsprüfung, zählt sie 30 %; ist sie schlechter, bleibt sie ohne Einfluss.
