Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to: understand and explain importance and problems of chemical equilibria and kinetics studies for chemistry; understand basic principles of numerical methods used to solve mass balance equations and principles of differential equations integration for solving chemical kinetics; to apply information on chemical equilibria in order to formulate database of e.g. equilibrium constants for computation of distribution diagrams by suitable programs; use of calculated distribution diagrams to solve problems concerning e.g. complexation of metal ions in aqueous solutions; propose reasonable and rational proposals for complexation of selected compounds; On the base of knowledge gained be able to propose experiments to solve unknown systems; to obtain skills for basic interpretation of chemical equilibria data and data of chemical kinetics and via data analysis to estimate fundamental reactions in studied processes;
