Course Objectives: The student understands the placement and the role of thermodynamics within the discipline of physical chemistry. S/he acquires knowledge at a level of application of the postulates of thermodynamics and becomes capable of using the postulates to solve general thermodynamic problems within a wide range of circumstances. S/he will learn the applicability of thermodynamics for chemically important phenomena and systems and will be able to interpret the physical properties and the behaviour thereof, along with the mathematical models describing them, in order to solve practical problems. Based on her/his acquired knowledge of statistical thermodynamics, s/he will be able to calculate relevant thermodynamic properties from molecular data, as e. g. the chemical equilibrium constant. 8.

Thermodynamic description of systems containing electrically charged particles. Charge transport and its consequences in homogeneous systems and electrochemical cells. Electrodes and their properties. Statistical thermodynamics; description of microcanonical and canonical ensembles. Calculating thermodynamic potential functions from the canonical partition function. Elementary treatment of linear transport equations. Diffusion; Fick’s first and second law. The solution of the diffusion equation. 8.1. Course Outline (Weekly) This course consists of three hours lecture and one hour seminar per week. Lectures concentrate on the explanation of the material described in the textbook. The webpage of the course contains the actual material discussed and to read for each week. Students solve problems on seminars with the aim that they could deal with real-life problems emerging in the context of what has been learnt during the lectures. They regularly get assignments at each seminar which is then evaluated. There are also midterm exams and a microproject to solve during the semester. The report of the microproject is supposed to be written in a journal publication style. (Week 1 serves to subscribe to or drop courses); (Week 2): Lecture 1 What is physical chemistry, and what part of it is chemical thermodynamics.

Course Work: Only students registered in the Neptun system can attend the lectures. Prerequisites for completion of course/laboratory during the semester (in addition to those listed in „ELTE Organizational and Operational Regulations”) include: Attendance of the lectures is not compulsory, but the knowledge of the material discussed is necessary to follow the seminars. Attendance of the seminars is compulsory (a record of attendance is kept). Assignments are given and they are corrected and evaluated on a regular basis. There are 3 to 4 midterm exams and a takehome exam during the semester. To have the right of an examination for the final grade, there is a minimum prescribed for assignment and midterm-exam scores. Above a certain level of scores, students get an offered final grade based on the marks received for the midterm exams. 10.2. Exam Period If the student does not get or accept an offered final grade, an oral exam is obligatory. If the scores accumulated during the semester for the assignments and the exams are not exceeding 50 per cent of the maximum, the student has to pass a written pre-exam whose successful completion is the condition to be examined orally. 11. Make Up Policy There is a possibility to write an optional midterm exam at the end of the semester whose result replaces the least favourable (or missing) mark of a previous exam. 12. Office Hours/Consultation: It is possible to have consultative sessions both with the professor giving the lecture and the person leading the seminars, if needed. 13.

Learning Strategy: Knowledge of the material discussed at the lectures and the seminars is necessary. Solving assignments and writing midterm exams and the take-home exam is the genuine way to have proficiency in the subject. In case the student does not get or accept an offered final grade, an oral exam is mandatory. 15.
