212020430 – Physical Chemistry

Course Description:

This course aims to improve students’ ability to implement concepts/theories in the field of chemical engineering physics. The main studies include ideal gas properties, kinetic theory of gases, concepts of thermodynamic quantities, Gibbs free energy, chemical fugacity and potential, phase rules, phase equilibrium of ideal systems, electrochemistry, chemical equilibrium, gas phase reaction rates, colligative properties of solutions, and colloidal chemistry. Lectures are conducted with a student-centered learning approach. The learning method in this course is centered on students and based on chemical engineering cases/industrial cases (case-based learning). Graduate learning outcomes are achieved effectively and encourage the formation of a scientific mindset in the field of physical chemistry to solve problems in the field (contextual).

Course Outline:

1. Ideal gas and gas kinetics
2. Thermodynamic equations, phase rules, and phase equilibrium
3. Chemical equilibrium, gas phase reaction rate,s and electrochemistry
4. Colligative properties and types of colloids
