Aims |
|
The overall aim of this module is to consolidate and extend second year knowledge of Organic, Inorganic and Physical chemistry. Organic: Year 2 synthetic chemistry is extended to cover pericyclic reactions, rearrangements and fragmentations, radical reactions and synthesis of alkenes. Basic concepts and techniques of physical organic chemistry are explained concurrently, including free energy diagrams and kinetic analysis of common mechanisms. Inorganic: Year 2 inorganic chemistry is extended to Physical: To demonstrate the relationship between microscopic and macroscopic models for physical chemical phenomena and the physical chemistry of electrochemical cells, surfactants and colloids. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) Inorganic learning outcomes: Physical learning outcomes: • Understand how to derive thermodynamic variables from the energy levels available to a set of particles (molecules, electrons, photons). • Have an understanding of the physical chemistry of ideal and real electrochemical cells. • Have an understanding of the physical chemistry of surfactants and colloids. • Be able to apply their knowledge of physical chemistry to solve unseen problems. |
