2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcomes | |
Upon successful completion of the Course, students will: - have understood the importance of Physical Chemistry and its role as an important instrument of theoretical and applied research in the context of academic education and the scientific and professional activity of the Chemical Engineer, - have been got in touch with the methodology of Physical Chemistry and the way to study problems (being physical on the basis and statistical from a chemical point of view) under the specific knowledge approach of Physical Chemistry, which deals with the Structure and States of Matter, - be able to understand physicochemical phenomena that take place in a variety of physical and chemical processes, and - have cultivated analytical thinking to be able to solve problems relevant to the course and applications referring to the science and profession of the Chemical Engineer | |

3. COURSE CONTENTS
- Introduction. Aim of the course. Introduction to the subject and importance of Physical Chemistry and particularly to the content of the Course Physical Chemistry I - Study of the properties of matter, its physical changes and the laws that apply to them and their interpretation. - Μatter examined is in the form of: gases, Liquids, Solids, or even in the form of a System resulting from a combination of various substances that are in the same or different physical states and without chemical reaction between them - i.e. in the form of: Solution, Colloidal System, or Plasma . - Presentation of the necessary theories for the study of the above matter forms: General and Chemical Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory, Quantum Theory, Theory of Dissolution in Liquids, Diffusion and Osmosis Theories, Debye-Hückel Theory of Strong Electrolytes, Sorption Theory, Disorder Theory of Solids |
4. TEACHING METHODS – ASSESSMENT
| MODE OF DELIVERY | Classroom / Face to face | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY | • Extensive use of electronic bibliographic databases (Scopus, ScienceDirect, Springerlink) during Lectures, Individual/Group Work • Support of the learning process through the e-class electronic platform • Constant teacher-student communication and collaboration via e-mail | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
TEACHING METHODS |
