Course abstract
The course’s “Physical and colloidal chemistry” aim is to give theoretical and practical skills in physical and colloidal chemistry. The main topics of lectures are: chemical thermodynamics, phase equilibrium, chemical kinetics and catalysis, electrochemistry, basic theoretical principles of different processes, surface phenomena, disperse systems and their properties, real and colloidal solutions properties, polymers and their properties. Working in the laboratories students will learn how to use different methods of electrochemical measurements, determine properties of colloidal solutions.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
1.Can use the basic theoretical principles of physical and colloidal chemistry to solve problem situations – Test No. 1 and Test No. 2
2.Understand the processes and basic principles of physical and colloidal chemistry and their connection to food processing technology, food quality and food science – Test No.1 and Test No.2
3.Can use basic theoretical principles of physical and colloidal chemistry, plan an experimental part independently, analyse obtained results of experiments, show scientific and innovative approach in the development of new food products – Test No. 1 and Test No. 2, laboratory works, colloquiums
4.Can select, analyse and use scientific information and methods independently– laboratory works, colloquiums

Requirements for awarding credit points
Test with a mark. Students must perform 12 laboratory works, submit laboratory reports, pass 12 colloquiums, write two test during the semester.
Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work
Preparing for colloquiums, reading scientific literature, analysing results of experiments, preparing and completing laboratory reports.
Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes
Colloquims are used to examinate student’s knowledge of theoretical basics. During colloquims student is asked several theoretical questions based on the laboratory work. The answers to the questions are assessed by mark.
The final grade of the study course is calculated using a marking scheme:
•tests 50%;
•colloquiums 30%; •laboratory reports 20%.
