Physical chemistry is the study of macroscopic, and particulate phenomena in chemical systems in terms of the principles, practices, and concepts of physics such as motion, energy, force, time, thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, analytical dynamics and chemical equilibrium.
This module aims to teach organic compounds. The bulk of the course will consist in studying the properties and chemical reactions of the main functional groups of organic compounds, in familiarizing ourselves with some important molecules in biology.
Dear Year 1 Environmental Chemistry and Year 1 Biorganic chemistry,
Welcome to the module of Physical Chemistry
The module of Physical Chemistry is composed two components, namely Thermodynamics and Chemical kinetics.
The module aims at discussing the feasibility of chemical reaction based on energy profile, enthalpy of reaction, Gibbs free energy, rate of reaction and chemical mechanisms. Furthermore, the module introduces to students, the concept of chemical equilibrium and phase equilibrium and their applications.
Welcome to the course of Fundamental biology
The course aims to introduce Cell Biology and Genetics. The structure of plant and animal cells and some processes taking place inside the cells will be introduced. Classical Genetics will be discussed and genetic interactions explained with little emphasis on molecular processes, even though key molecular processes will be introduced at the end of the course.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this module, you will be able to
1. Describe the structure and function of plant and animals’ cells and organelles
2. Describe the processes of mitosis and meiosis
3. Explain genetic inheritance in classical genetics terms
4. culture bacteria and observe them through microscope
