unspecified
Learning outcomes
This course is focused on presentation of methods for determination of data on physico-chemical properties of pure compounds and mixtures. In the first part of the course, the experimental methods will be presented: their overview, division and usage. Estimation methods for physico-chemical properties will be discussed in the second part of the course.
Students obtain an overview and information about methods for determination of physico-chemical properties of chemical substances. First, the experimental methods for characterization of pure substanes or mixtures in liquid or solid states will be discussed. Then non-experimental approaches will be presented.
Prerequisites
There is no preceding course wanted. Students are expected to read and understand the presented texts and to discuss relevant topics during lectures and examination.
