2. LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

  • Recall the mathematical foundation of thermodynamic equilibrium, the description of ideal and real mixtures, the nature of intermolecular forces, the equilibrium of liquid-liquid and gas-liquid phases, the concepts fugacity or volatility, chemical potential, activity coefficient, energy analysis of chemical reactions, the concept of chemical equilibrium in homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions.
  • Distinguish between molar and partial molar properties.
  • Describe the formalism equations of mixtures and solutions (ideal and real).
  • Explain the thermodynamics of reactions with emphasis on the equilibrium condition, the equilibrium constant, and the dependence of the equilibrium constant on temperature.
  • Apply the thermodynamics of solutions with a distinction between ideal and real solutions and the relevant differences in the respective models of the chemical dynamic component of the solution.
General Competencies/Skills
  • Review, analyze and synthesize data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Interdisciplinary work
  • Design and Project Management
