Aims |
|
The aims of the three components are: |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) Ability to describe and discuss the physical chemistry underlying electrochemical cells, batteries and fuel cells, and to perform fundamental thermodynamic calculations on electrochemical cells. |
|
(LO2) Ability to apply the physicochemical knowledge gained in the course, including the relevant equations, to solve problems relating to the physical chemistry of the condensed state. |
|
(LO3) Ability to describe the physical chemistry of surfactants and colloids. |
|
(LO4) Ability to describe the experimental methods that are used to study protein structure and folding, to discuss their analysis, and to discuss and apply (quantitatively) the physical chemistry principles underlying these methods. |
|
(LO5) Ability to discuss the importance of protein structure and dynamics for understanding biological processes. |
|
(LO6) Ability to describe the physical structure of the atmosphere. |
|
(LO7) Ability to discuss the chemistry occurring in different layers of the atmosphere and to relate this to thermodynamics and to the physical and chemical behaviour of different layers. |
|
(LO8) Ability to compare the physical chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere to extra-terrestrial atmospheres. |
Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
Lectures. This module will use podcasts for providing the material which normally would be presented in 24 lectures. These will cover the background material necessary to succeed in this module, including the final exam. |
