Physical Chemistry

The objective of the Course is to provide the student with the basic knowledge in the field of thermodynamics and chemical kinetics, as well as some elements of electrochemistry. The contents of the course, which explore some topics already presented in the course of General Physics, aim to consolidate the student's attitude to quantitative reasoning and to provide the basis for the correct interpretation of the principles underlying chemical reactivity and some of the analytical techniques that the student will meet during his/her studies.

At the end of the course the student will know the basics of thermodynamics and chemical kinetics, as well as some rudiments of electrochemistry. He/she will be able to understand the conceptual and formal bases of the main problems in physical chemistry discussed during the course and apply them to the solution of simple exercises.
