COURSE GOALS: Detailed analysis of basic physical chemistry concepts in order to enable students to teach more elementary concepts at school level and to understand molecular structure, equilibria and rates of chemical processes.

LEARNING OUTCOMES AT THE LEVEL OF THE PROGRAMME:
1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
1.2. demonstrate a thorough knowledge and understanding of the fundamental concepts in chemistry
1.4. demonstrate a thorough knowledge and understanding of the most important chemistry laws and theories
1.5. demonstrate knowledge and understanding of basic experimental methods, instruments and methods of experimental data processing in physics and chemistry
2. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
2.2. describe important aspects of chemical change
2.3. apply stoichiometry
2.4. recognize and follow the logic of arguments, evaluate the adequacy of arguments and construct well supported arguments
5. LEARNING SKILLS
5.1. search for and use professional literature as well as any other sources of relevant information

LEARNING OUTCOMES SPECIFIC FOR THE COURSE:
After passing the exam student should be able to:
1. describe the postulates of quantum mechanics, derive the Schrödinger equation for simple systems (particle in a box, harmonic oscillator) and to interpret the obtained results,
2. describe to procedure for solving the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom and to explain the physical meaning of the solutions obtained,
3. distinguish between the absorption, emission and scattering of electromagnetic radiation and to state which information regarding the molecular structure can be deduced from rotational, vibrational and electronic spectra,
4. describe the principles governing the nuclear magnetic resonance: NMR (chemical shifts and nuclear spin coupling),
5. explain and describe the energy changes during chemical reactions and physical processes,
6. name the factors that influence the spontaneity of chemical and physical processes,
7. describe the chemical equilibrium quantitatively,
8. describe the properties of electrolyte solutions and compare the structural models of strong electrolyte solutions (Debye&Hückel, Bjerrum, etc),
9. describe the changes in galvanic and electrolyte cells,
10. interpret quantitatively the rate of chemical reaction and corresponding parameters.
