Course content
Lab focuses on the practical application of basic principles of physical chemistry. Individual tasks are designed so that in practice as far as practicable, be equally represented in the most important areas of physical chemistry in accordance with the contents of lectures Physical Chemistry - Physical Chemistry 1 and 2, respectively lecture Fundamentals of general and physical chemistry. EXPERIMENTAL PROBLEMS FOR PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY EXERCISES 1. Distribution equilibrium of acetic acid in the water-1-butanol system 2. Adsorption of oxalic acid on activated carbon 3. Thermal analysis of a binary mixture (diphenylamine - naphthalene) 4. Electrochemistry Reversible electrodes - Type I electrodes - Determination of the solubility product Galvanic cell - Measurement of the temperature dependence of the EMN of a galvanic cell 5. Conductometry Determination of the dissociation constant of a weak electrolyte Dependence of the reaction rate on temperature Determination of the rate constant of the hydration of acetic anhydride of acetic acid 6. Phase diagram of a three-component system 8. Optical activity Concentration dependence of optical rotation Reaction kinetics of sucrose inversion 9. Potentiometry Buffering capacity Determination of the dissociation constant 10. Spectrophotometry Determination of the molar absorption coefficient Spectrophotometric determination of the pK indicator 11. Viscosity Concentration dependence of starch viscosity (Ubbelohde viscometer) Activation energy of viscous flow (Höppler viscometer) 12. Determination of the reaction order for individual components of a more complex reaction
