Introduction of the course:

The course is organized to provide an adequate knowledge about basic concepts in Physical chemistry
including thermodynamics, chemical kinetics etc.
Course Objectives:
The course is designed:
1. To introduce students about the key concepts of physical chemistry
2. To introduce about thermodynamics, chemical kinetics etc.
Theory
1. Chemical Thermodynamic
Equation of states, ideal and real gases, the vander waals equation for real gases, critical
phenomena and critical constants.
Extensive and intensive properties, molar heat capacities, second law of thermodynamics,
concept of entropy, entropy change in reversible and irreversible process, entropy change for
an ideal gas, entropy change due to mixing of ideal gases, effect of temperature and pressure
on entropy, concept of free energy, effect of temperature and pressure on free energy,
relationship between standard free energy and equilibrium constants.
2. Chemical Kinetics
Derivation of kinetics expression of zero order, first order, second order (with same and
different concentrations), nuclear decay as first order reaction, derivations for determining
rate constants and half life periods, measurement of order of the reaction with different
methods, Arrhenius equation and determination of various Arrhenius parameters.
3. Solutions and Colloids
Physical properties of liquids, surface tension, viscosity, refractive index etc.
Osmotic pressure and its measurements, abnormal colligative properties (association and
dissociation of solutes), fractional distillation and concept of azeotrops, concept of colloids,
