ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	(not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load. view allocation of credits
Language:	Polish
Type of course:	obligatory courses
Prerequisites (description):	Lectures directed to students enrolled to the program Applications of Physics in Biology and Medicine (speciality: Molecular Biophysics, Molecular Modelling and Bioinformatics)
Mode:	Classroom
Short description:	Physical chemistry establishes and develops the principles that are used to explain and interpret the observations made in the other branches of chemistry
Full description:	The lectures are devoted to present the mechanisms of physicochemical processes of inorganic, organic and biological molecules (nucleosides, nucleotides, nucleic acids and proteins) Program 1. Solid, liquid and gas state, phase changes 2. Ideal and real solutions 3. Diffusion in solutions 4. Surface phenomena 5. Termodynamics of electrolyte solutions 6. Electrochemical cells 7. State functions (enthalpy, entropy, thermodynamic potential) 8. Chemical equilibrium 9.Chemical kinetics 10. Collision and activatedcomplex theory 11. Kinetic equations 12. Catalytic reactions 13. Interactions of UV/VIS radiation with the matter 14. Photochemical processes (photochemical lows, quantum yield, photocatalysis, photosensitization) Description by Elżbieta Bojarska, May 2011

Learning outcomes:	Knowledge 1. elementary physicochemicals lows of matter transitions 2. physicochemical processes in the ground and excited state Skills 1. explaining mechanisms of physicochemical transitions in model and real systems 2. finding connections between different processes in environment and living cells
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	Number of permitted absences and the rules of absence management: Attendance at lectures and classes is obligatory; maximum 3 justified absences per semester are allowed: 2 for lectures, 1 for classes. Credit rules: 1. Test at the beginning of each class. Obtaining a minimum of 60% of the total points (not from each class) is required to be allowed for the exam. An additional test for students who do not fill this condition will take place during the last classes in the semester. 2. Oral exam Conditions for passing the retake: Oral exam
Practical placement:	None
