Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Students should be able to:
1. Apply the phase rule to determine degrees of freedom and show how these may be satisfied.
2. Describe the significance of Chemical Potential in mixtures and understand phase equilibria formulations.
3. Use standard heats and free energies of formation to evaluate equilibrium constants, and hence determine chemical equilibrium in single and multiple reactions.
4. Understand the basic assumptions in the thermodynamic models used in process simulations, including electrolyte mixtures. |
