CH5101 Foundations of Physical Chemistry
Question 1: Demonstrate knowledge of fundamental concepts in chemical thermodynamics, including enthalpy, entropy, free energy and equilibrium constants and their inter-relations.
Question 2: Explain the ways that electromagnetic radiation may interact with molecules to yield spectroscopic transitions, and the regions of the electromagnetic spectrum in which these may be observed.
Question 3: Understand the properties of gases based on ideal and non-ideal behaviour and the kinetic behaviour of constituent molecules.
Question 4: Explain the concepts of molecularity and order of a reaction, the effect of concentration and temperature on reactions, and relate these to reaction mechanisms and energy barriers.
Question 5: Understand the properties of ionic solutions in ideal and non-ideal cases, and those of electrochemical cells.
Question 6: Explain the interaction of X-rays with crystalline solids, interpret the resulting diffraction patterns, and describe the band structure of major classes of material.
