Annotation
The course is intended for students of chemistry focused on education to yield them a physical point of view on chemical processes. The students will be acquainted with basic laws of thermodynamics and quantities as well as with special fields of physical chemistry ? electrochemistry, chemical kintics, phase and chemical equilibria.
The lectures are combined with seminars, where the students are taught to apply the theoretical knowledge to practical problems.
