Physical Chemistry
Full course description
During this practicum, we will investigate how physical data is extracted from different experiments. Each week, students will perform different experiments focusing on the different aspects of physical chemistry (thermodynamics, kinetics, spectroscopy). Students are expected to work out different constants or information from the data they collected from experiments. Error analysis will also take a large part in the training as it is completely inherent to physical chemistry.
Course objectives
For this skill, students are expected to perform various physical chemistry experiments and analyze the obtained data, involving inter alia kinetics analysis, thermodynamics analysis and spectroscopy analysis.
