| Aim: To give an introduction to the theory of energy states associated with the translational-, rotational- and vibrational motions of molecules, including nuclear- and electron spin, as a foundation for different spectroscopic techniques and statistical thermodynamics. Furthermore, to give an introduction to the theory of mass- and charge transport, chemical kinetics, and the physical chemistry of macromolecules. The aim of the laboratory exercises is to support the understanding of the theoretical concepts and to provide training in techniques of measurement. |
| Contents: Lectures: Interaction between electromagnetic radiation and molecules, quantization of molecular energy, the Schrödinger equation, spectroscopy with microwave-, infrared (IR)- and ultraviolet (UV) radiation and nuclear magnetic resonans (NMR) and electron spin resonans (ESR). Basic concepts in statistical thermodynamics. Mass- and charge transport, diffusion and electrolytic conductivity. Reaction kinetics: Reaction rate and its temperature dependence, stationarity, consecutive and parallel reactions. Collision theory for gas-phase reactions. Adsorption, heterogeneous catalysis and enzyme catalysis. Macromolecules: Polymers and biopolymers, structure, stabilizing forces, thermodynamics, transport phenomena. Laboratory exercises: Thermodynamics, electrochemistry, reaction kinetics, transport processes, surface chemistry and macromolecules. |
| Remarks: Information about the course, including choice of weekday for theinstruktions about choosing a day for the laboratory excersises, will be posted at the information desk of the department at the beginning of the semester. |
