Course description

Chemical Thermodynamics studies the energy changes and equilibrium in chemical reactions, focusing on concepts like enthalpy, entropy, and free energy. It helps predict reaction feasibility, optimize industrial processes, and improve energy efficiency in fields like pharmaceuticals, metallurgy, and environmental science.

What will i learn?

  • After completion of the course student should able to understand different thermodynamic activities happening in everyday life in nature.
  • They should know different chemical equilibriums and relationship between them.
  • They should have a general idea about elevation in boiling point and depression in freezing point, their conditions of occurrence and effects.
  • They should able to know why there is lowering in vapour pressure , Rault’s law , Henry’s law and their applications
  • They should have practical experiences on how to calculate heat capacity of calorimeter from known enthalpy of solution or enthalpy of neutralization
  • They will know how to determination of basicity/proticity of a polyprotic acid by the thermochemical method
