This repository contains the resources on the undergraduate Physical Chemistry course covering thermodynamics, electrochemistry, statistichal thermodynamics and chemical kinetics.
The idea of the website is greatly inspired and largely based on another open source resource - the website of Prof. Eremin at Moscow State University Part 1 and Part 2. Unfortunately, some material is not reflected properly and the browsers often do a pretty poor job translating the website. Hence I'm putting this as a stand-alone resource.
In addition, this repository will include problems and teaching materials from other resources, including those generated by artificial inteligence (AI) tools. However, the AI-generated content is revised and curated by me to ensure the consistency of theory and problems/solutions.
Another distinctive feature of this repository is the used of Jupyter, to facilitate solving numerical problems.
2. Basic ideas of molecular-kinetic theory (MKT) of gases. Critical states. Math review: Differentiation.
4. 1-st law of thermodynamics and thermochemistry: internal energy and enthalpies of phase changes and chemical reactions. Hess’s law.
5. 2-nd law of thermodynamics: Entropy, Helmholtz, and Gibbs free energies. Spontaneous processes and their directionality. 3-rd law of thermodynamics: Absolute entropies.
The problems and examples given in the units use the following conventions for the relevant sources:
