| Module objectives/intended learning outcomes | Through problem-solving activities and group discussions, students are able to explain the fundamental concepts of ideal and real gases, including gas laws and compressibility factors, and apply these concepts to solve thermodynamic problems related to gas behavior..By conducting thermochemical calculations and presenting case studies, students are able to demonstrate an understanding of the First Law of Thermodynamics, including internal energy and enthalpy changes, and analyze energy transformations in physical and chemical systems..Through simulations, individual reflections, and collaborative analysis, students are able to evaluate thermodynamic processes based on the Second and Third Laws of Thermodynamics, with emphasis on entropy, spontaneity, and the concept of absolute zero |
| Content | This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles of gases and thermodynamics, essential for understanding various physical and chemical processes. The course begins by exploring the behavior of ideal gases, guided by classical gas laws such as Boyle’s, Charles’s, and Avogadro’s laws, and then extends to the real gas behavior by introducing the concepts of intermolecular interactions, deviations from ideality, and compressibility factors.The next part of the course focuses on the First Law of Thermodynamics, emphasizing the concepts of internal energy, heat, work, and enthalpy. Students will also study thermochemistry, including the use of calorimetry and Hess’s Law to analyze heat changes in chemical reactions.In the final section, the course delves into the Second and Third Laws of Thermodynamics. Here, students will explore the concepts of entropy, spontaneity of processes, Gibbs free energy, and the theoretical foundation of absolute zero, enabling them to analyze the directionality and limitations of energy transformations.Throughout the course, students engage in problem-solving sessions, group discussions, presentations, and simulations to deepen their conceptual understanding and develop critical scientific thinking. |
