Spring semester 2007 – Part II
For chemistry and chemical engineering students, Bachelor second
year Fall
Semester
Course Objective :
The basic knowledge is applied to reactive systems. Reaction variables are defined and evaluated. The conditions for the chemical equilibrium are established for various kinds of systems. Instructive examples are presented as part of the course. Ideal and then real solutions are dealt with. If time is available, a short chapter on statistical mechanics is presented.
All of this material is applied to problems with various degrees of sophistication.
