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):	Student should have a basic knowledge in mathematics and physics on the level required after the first year of Chemistry. Namely, student should be able to solve simple differential equations, calculate simple integrals, plot the course of basic mathematic functions. Student should have a basic knowledge in classical mechanics, electricity and general chemistry
Mode:	Classroom
Short description:	The physical chemistry course is to lay foundations in thermodynamics, thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics and to present how to use in practice the laws describing physicochemical phenomena
Full description:	The course comprises: - the basis of thermodynamics - the basis of chemical statics, thermodynamic criteria of equilibrium, - phase equilibria in one- and multicomponent systems, - interpretation of phase diagrams for one-, two- and three component systems - processes of distillation, rectification and extraction - properties of electrolyte solutions - electrodes and cells, reactions, Nernst equation, determination of physicochemical constants from EFM measurements, - transport in solutions and gases, - interfacial phenomena, thermodynamics of interfaces (adsorption, surface tension) and colloide, - chemical kinetics of simple and complexed reactions - basis of electrochemical kinetics, - electric and magnetic properties of molecules

Learning outcomes:	After the course the student: - knows the basic terms and how to use them in thermodynamics, thermochemistry, chemical kinetics, electrochemistry, - knows the main relationships in Physical Chemistry and how to use them, - knows the basis of fundamental physicochemical processes, - is able a direction of physicochemical processes after the change of various parameters, like temperature, pressure, concentration, potential, - knows which experimental methods one can use in studies of physicochemical processes, is able to determine the fundamental physicochemical parameters from experimental data - is able to interpret experimental data and infer appropriate conclusions.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	Exam is after each semestr, provided the student passed laboratory and calculation calasses. The exam may be in the form: 1. written exam composed of two parts: test and open questions 2. oral exam for students who obtained at least a good score from laboratory and calculation classes.
Practical placement:	not required
