The course is divided in three parts.
The first part is related to knowledge of the properties of gases, to the understanding the three laws of thermodynamics and to the application of concepts and fundamentals of thermodynamics to the transformations of pure substances.
The second part is related to the concept of energy associated with mixtures and chemical equilibrium, and to the interpretation of phase diagrams.
The third part is related to molecular interactions and molecules in motion, kinetics of reactions, reaction dynamics and catalysis
In each class, at first theory will be explained, then typical exercises will be solved in preparation to the three exams.

The aim of this course is to help students acquire an understanding of the principles of physical chemistry (properties of
gas, thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, kinetics and catalysis) on the academic level. Quantum chemistry, atomic spectra,
and solid state chemistry will not be covered since they are covered in other courses.

Three exam will be conducted in class, to solve problems related to the three parts of the course.
Each exam will give 33.33% of the final grade at maximum.
Final exam is not planned in this course.
To pass the student must earn a total score of 60% or more.
