Learning Outcomes On successful completion of this module the learner will/should be able to… 1. Define various laws that are fundamental to physical chemistry. 2. Describe the behaviour of gases (ideal and non−ideal). 3. Explain the laws of thermodynamics and manipulate chemical equations to calculate physical parameters. 4. Discuss chemical equilibria and factors affecting it. 5. Describe the behaviour of electrolytes. 6. Describe the function and operation of electrochemical cells and list various types of electrochemical cells. 7. Explain the kinetics of reaction rates and the factors affecting reaction rates. 8. Translate and express Acid and Base properties of solutions in terms of pH, buffer solutions, acid base titrations. 9. Demonstrate concepts in physical chemistry through problem solving and calculations of physical parameters.
