1. Chemistry, Faculty of Science (v4, p179) : Next:610-311 | Prev:610-260
Credit points: 16
Coordinator: Dr K Ghiggino
Prerequisite: Chemistry 610-210 or 610-211 and 610-260
Contact: 26 lectures, 39 hours practical work
Timetable: Semester 1
Objectives:
On completion of 610-310 the student should:
- comprehend the statistical principles of energy partition in molecular systems and their application to spectroscopy and equilibrium processes;
- relate UV-visible spectroscopy to the fates of electronically excited molecules;
- understand photodissociation processes, free radical formation, and the mechanisms of combustion reactions;
- understand the main concepts of equilibrium electro-chemistry and be able to apply electrochemical principles to interpret the behaviour of solutions and galvanic cells;
- understand the nature of a surface and the phenomena of spreading behaviour of liquids, capillary rise, vapour pressure, superheating, crystal solubility and super-saturation;
- understand the processes of micelle formation from surfactants and gas adsorption on solids;
- have developed skills in experimental techniques and in instrumental methods of physical chemistry.
Content:
Statistical mechanics, electrochemistry, surface chemistry, photochemistry, chemical kinetics.
Assessment:
One 3-hour written examination at the end of Semester 1: assignments not exceeding 12 pages: practical work will be continuously assessed. Satisfactory completion of the practical work is necessary before credit can be granted for the subject.
