Physical Chemistry Laboratory Work (3 cr)

Objectives (course unit)

The student can carry out the laboratory works of physical chemistry. The student understands relations between theory and practical tests. He/she can make conclusions and write a report by following the given instructions.

Content (course unit)

The most important phenomena of physical chemistry, surface and colloid chemistry and phase equilibrium, the most common applications of electrochemistry

Prerequisites (course unit)

Physical Chemistry

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

Knowing: The student has knowledge of the most essential phenomena and related units of physical chemistry. Capability to analyze simple tasks related phenomena like discussed examples.
Acting: The student manages the assigned tasks under supervision/assisted.
Being: The student can give and receive feedback, can work in a group, takes responsibility for his/her own work.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)

Knowing: In addition, the student has capability to apply the principles to new situations. Can use the terminology and models of physical chemistry in a correct way.
Acting: The student applies substance matter learnt in previous studies, makes a plan/plans before carrying out tasks, limits tasks/problems to have an appropriate scope, solves problems.

Being: The student can give and receive feedback actively and constructively, can cooperate responsibly and is ready to develop his/her interaction skills. Recognizes and follows the important courses of action in the field. Takes responsibility and commits to the group activities in addition to his/her own work.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)

Knowing: Furthermore, the student has versatile and fluent ability to analyze phenomena realizing the limitations related to theories in use.
Acting: The student can search for diverse solution alternatives, justify his/her choices and try new courses of action, assesses diverse solution alternatives, combines solution alternatives creatively or creates new ones.
Being: The student can cooperate responsibly, flexibly and constructively, develops his/her own and the group's interaction, works responsibly and in a committed manner considering the community and field requirements and needs.

Further information

It is obligatory to attend every laboratory session and "pajatunti".
The students have to study independently
Subjects:
- Redox potential and the electrochemical series
- Electrochemical cell (principle, structure of the cell, applications)
- pH-electrode (principle, structure of the cell, applications)
The pretasks are downloaded to Tabula before every lab.
Everyone participate to the evaluation of the reports.
