Annotation -
Physical chemistry II (c) is a continuation of Physical chemistry I(c) (MC260P01C). It is aimed at electrochemistry and chemical kinetics. Some complicated parts as the theory of strong electrolytes are considered in phenomenological way.

Lectures are accompanied by exercises.

Syllabus -

ELECTROCHEMISTRY

Strong electrolytes (activity coefficient, Debye-Hückel theory, the solubility product). Weak electrolytes (acid-base equilibria, buffers, acid-base titration and indicators, ampholytes). Transport of ions in electric field (conductivity, mobility, transport numbers). Galvanic cells and electrodes (Nernst equation, varieties of electrodes, potentiometry). Polarisation of electrodes and polarography.

THE KINETIC THEORY OF GASES

Maxwell distribution of speeds and energies, collisions with wall, the rate of effusion, intermolecular collisions, transport properties.

CHEMICAL KINETICS

Rate law of elementary and simultaneous (parallel, opposite, consecutive) reactions. Rate of reaction theories (Arrhenius theory, collision theory, the Lindemann mechanism of unimolecular reactions, activated complex theory). Catalysis, kinetic salt effect, chain reaction, photochemical reaction.

Learning outcomes - Czech
Po absolovování předmětu student aktivně pracuje s terminologií používanou v elektrochemii a reakční kinetice. Student se teoreticky seznámí se základními postupy stanovení fyzikálně-chemických charakteristik látek nebo reakcí (pH roztoků, disociační konstanta, produkt rozpustnosti, rychlostní konstanta). Po absolvování cvičení k předmětu je student schopen řešit základní příklady z elektrochemie a reakční kinetiky.
