Semester II

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.
