Having studied Thermodynamics and Kinetics and being enrolled in Transport phenomena and Surface Phenomena.
Have passed the security test (virtual campus).
During practicals, students must bring their own homologated lab robe and safety glasses.
In addition to the usual tools to be written, they must bring a scientific calculator, a laboratory notebook and a spatula.
The final objective of the course is that students reach the competences indicated in the corresponding section.
The general objectives are:
1. Apply the fundamental laws and theoretical principles acquired by the student in the courses of the subjects named in the prerequisites.
2. Familiarize students with the acquisition of data in the laboratory and its interpretation.
3. Introduce students to the knowledge of concepts and applications of physical chemistry through laboratory work.
First, a master class to explain he contents and methodology used to carry out this subject will be programed.
Afterwards, the student will have to complete 12 laboratory sessions of 4 hours each, during which he will carry out a set of laboratory practices that have previously been prepared with the script (and other materials) published in the virtual campus.
Practices will include advanced kinetics, electrochemistry, surface phenomena, and any other phenomena in the field of Experimental physical chemistry
The laboratory session will delve into topics seen in previous theoretical subjects, but the laboratory can also be used to introduce aspects not discussed above.
The following is a likely list of practices as an example, even if the teachers in each academic year can modify them or select another
-Kinetics by Polarimetry. Inversion reaction of sucrose.
-Kinetics fby conductimetry. Basic hydrolysis of ethyl acetate
-Iodation of cyclohexanone in acidic medium: kinetic study.
-Study of the effect of the Ionic force on the rate of the oxidation reaction of the iodide with the anion
Peroxodisulfat.
-Solvatocromism as a tool to characterize a solvent's properties.
-Adsorption isotherm
-Conductivity of ionic dissolutions
-Determination of the critical micellar concentration by means of conductivity measurements.
-Sewage treatment through electrochemical processes
-Surface tension. Wettability.
Before starting the laboratory sessions, there will be a session in the lecture room to explain the rules that appear in this teaching guide, and give last minute information and the specific methodology and contents.
Attendance at the classroom and laboratory is obligatory. An unjustified lack implies a zero in a practice.
The students, in groups of 2 students, will perform 12 lab sessions lasting 4 hours, during which a 9-10 different practices shall take place. Students will previously have the scripts for the
Practices for its preparation. They must enter the laboratory with the script of the practice read and the calculations, tables etc. prepared in the laboratory notebook.
Students must correctly write to the lab notebook where all the experimental results will be recorded.

The evaluation process follows the principle of continuous assessment. The overall grade will be constituted by the weighted sum of 3 items:
To do the average you must take a note equal to or greater than 4.0 in the exam; If the minimum mark of 4.0 is not obtained, a recovery exam will be available. If the mark of 4.0 is not reached in the recovery, the student will be deemed suspended and the record shall consist of a suspended examination.
To participate in the recovery, students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total qualification of the subject and has obtained a global qualification equal to or greater than 3.5.
