Learning outcomes:
After passing the exam student should be able to:
- describe the postulates of quantum mechanics, derive the Schrödinger equation for simple systems (particle in a box, harmonic oscillator) and to interpret the obtained results,
- describe to procedure for solving the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom and to explain the physical meaning of the solutions obtained,
- distinguish between the absorption, emission and scattering of electromagnetic radiation and to state which information regarding the molecular structure can be deduced from rotational, vibrational and electronic spectra,
- describe the principles governing the nuclear magnetic resonance: NMR (chemical shifts and nuclear spin coupling)
- explain and describe the energy changes during chemical reactions and physical processes
- name the factors that influence the spontaneity of chemical and physical processes
- describe the chemical equilibrium quantitatively
- describe the properties of electrolyte solutions and compare the structural models of strong electrolyte solutions (Debye&Hückel, Bjerrum, etc)
- describe the changes in galvanic and electrolyte cells
- interpret quantitatively the rate of chemical reaction and corresponding parameters
After completing the laboratory course student should be able to:
- independently measure basic physico-chemical properties (pH, conductivity, absorbance, temperature, electromotive force, etc ...) using modern instrumentation and classical techniques
- collect and interpret the experimental results
- apply standard mathematical methods for solving the chemical problems and analysing the experimental results.
- apply various physico-chemical models for interpretation of experimental results
- analyse the experimental results regarding the reproducibility of measurements, sensitivity of measurements and predictable errors.
- analyse the factors that influence the obtained results.
