The subject gives a thorough description of the laws of thermodynamics together with selected topics in reaction kinetics. As kinetics gives a mathematical description of how quickly chemical reactions occur, thermodynamics explains the kind of reacions that take place.

Kjem 210 builds on the thermodynamic and kinetic principles introduced in KJEM 110.

The subject includes chemical equilibrium, phase equilibria, phase diagrams (transitions between gaseous, liquid and solid states of matter), the properties of liquid mixtures and the properties of liquid solutions.

Important principles and phenomena will be investigated in the laboratory course.

After completing the course KJEM210 the student will be able to:

• apply basic thermodynamic principles to comprehend, study and perform calculations related to:

- energy/work/heat relations

- phase equilibria and phase changes

- liquid mixtures and colligative properties

- chemical equilibria

use principles of reaction kinetics to determine reaction velocity
