Objectives
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE TEACHING COURSE PROVIDES KNOWLEDGE OF KINETIC AND ELECTROCHEMICAL PRINCIPLES USEFUL FOR THE UNDERSTANDING OF CHEMICAL PHENOMENA IN HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS SYSTEMS.
APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: STUDENTS WILL IDENTIFY THE MOST SUITABLE METHODS FOR THE STUDY OF KINETIC AND ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESSES, AND MANAGE AND ANALYZE EXPERIMENTAL DATA USING WIDELY USED SOFTWARE.
DEVELOPING ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE IN TECHNICAL LANGUAGE;
DEVELOPING LEARNING SKILLS NECESSARY FOR PROFESSIONAL LIFE.
Prerequisites
BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS, ELECTROMAGNETISM, AND CALCULUS
Contents
APPLICATION OF STATISTICAL THERMODYNAMICS TO SYSTEMS COMPOSED OF INDEPENDENT DISTINGUISHABLE AND INDISTINGUISHABLE PARTICLES: MONOATOMIC GAS; EINSTEIN AND DEBYE MODEL OF MONOATOMIC CRYSTALS. IDEAL DIATOMIC GAS: ROTATIONAL AND VIBRATIONAL PARTITION FUNCTIONS AND THERMODYNAMIC QUANTITIES. CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIA.

KEMICAL KINETICS. REACTION RATE AND ITS DEPENDENCE ON TEMPERATURE AND CONCENTRATION; KINETIC LAWS; COMPLEX SYSTEM; SERIES AND PARALLEL REACTIONS OF THE FIRST ORDER; UNIMOLECULAR REACTIONS; CHAIN REACTIONS; OMHOGENEOUS CATALYSIS.
MOLECULAR COLLISIONS; RATE OF A BIMOLECULAR REACTION; TRANSITION STATE THEORY.

ELECTRON TRANSFER REACTIONS IN HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS SYSTEMS; INTERFACE ELECTRODE-SOLUTION; . ELECTRODES AND ELECTRODE REACTIONS. ELECTRODE KINETICS: CURRENT-VOLTAGE CHARACTERISTICS OF CHARGE-TRANSFER REACTIONS. REACTION ORDER. TRANSPORT PROCESSES AND MASS TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS; VOLTAMMETRY; GALVANIC CELLS; CORROSION
Teaching Methods
THE TEACHING CONSISTS OF FRONT LESSONS OF 48 HOURS (6 CFU). NUMERICAL EXERCISES ARE ALSO PROVIDED AS INTEGRATION OF THEORETICAL LESSONS.
Verification of learning

THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN UNIVERSITY SCHEDULED EXAMINATION SCORED FROM 0-30. THE EXAM CONSISTS OF AN INTERVIEW WITH QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS ON THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONTENT LISTED IN THE TEACHING PROGRAM AND IS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL UNDERSTANDING REACHED BY THE STUDENT, AS WELL AS TESTING THE EXPOSURE CAPACITY BY USING THE APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY AND THE ABILITY TO AUTONOMOUSLY ORGANIZE MEASUREMENTS AND DATA MANAGING.
