Prerequisites
NOW ( C1740 Physical Chemistry Principles )
Mathematics course in the extent of the first semester of bachelor's study fields of biochemistry, chemistry, biology, or biophysics.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

Course objectives
Exercises and problems accompanying the course C1740 Principles of Physical Chemistry. After completing this course students will understand, at an introductory level, fundamental concepts of theoretical chemistry to real chemical systems with an emphasis on the relationships between the microscopic structure and macroscopic properties of matter. Topics will cover essential parts of chemical thermodynamics, equilibria and kinetics.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to solve computational exercises from the fields of thermodynamics, chemical equilibria and kinetics. Further, they will develop skills to derive basic thermodynamic relationships and use kinetic equations in both their differential and their integral forms.
Syllabus
  • Seminar topics follow the lecture program (C1740), clarifying lecture material and giving the opportunity to develop a critical understanding of the themes and concepts.

Teaching methods
Students alternate at the whiteboard in solving individual exercises. The rest of the class solves the tasks individually with the option of checking colleague's solution at the whiteboard. The teacher's role is to advise students in case of difficulties.
Assessment methods
Three test are written during the semester. For a successful absolving of the course, 50 % of points is required for each of the tests.
Language of instruction
Czech
