Subject syllabus

Physical chemistry, its significance in technological processes. Chemical thermodynamics - heat capacities, definition, classification. The First law of thermodynamics, analysis, application. Enthalpy, heating and coolling of substances, reaction enthalpy. The Second law of thermodynamics – some application for chemical and physical equilibriums. Equilibrium constants and their types for homogeneous nad heterogeneous chemical reactions.

Phase equilibrium. Gibbs phase rule. Phase equilibria in one-component two-phase systems.
Liquid solutions, properties, description of solutions, thermodynamic models of solutions.

Chemical kinetics – basic terms (rate of chemical reaction, molecularity, order of reaction, reaction mechanism). Kinetics of homogeneous simple reactions. Kinetics of heterogeneous chemical reactions, elementary steps in heterogenous reactions, diffusion, adsorption. Application in technological processes.

Liquid metals and liquid metal oxide systems, structure, physico-chemical properties (viscosity, surface tension, adsorption). Physical and metallurgical aspects of gases in molten metal, the Sievert's law. Liquid slags, structure, physico-chemical propeties. Slag-metal reactions.
