Aim: The aim of the course is to extend the use of the principles of chemical thermodynamics to systems which depart from ideal behaviour, as well as to systems, which include galvanic cells. The laboratory part of the course includes report writing.
Contents: The content of the theoretical course includes the following: Vapour pressure of salt hydrates. Activity and activity coefficients. Strong and weak electrolytes. Colligative properties. Debye-Hückel theory. Conductivity in ionic solutions. Transference numbers. Galvanic cells. Electrode potential. Nernst equation. Liquid-junction potential. Membrane potential. Temperature dependence of e.m.f. Pourbaix diagrams.
