CHM103: Physical Chemistry I
Chemistry deals broadly with the study of matter.
There are different aspects of chemistry in which matter is studied.
These are Physical. Inorganic. Organic and Analytical. In fact. the classification has been further broken in such a way that details of the matter in terms of structure.· periodic1ty and energy can be well understood. Physical Chemistry is thus one aspect. Physical Chemistry deals with a wide variety of topics from the states of matter to the reaction rates. The modem approach to chemistry is to deal with the following three aspects of the matter. • Structure • Equilibrium Properties • Ability to change
What Will You Learn?
In physical chemistry. we deal with the remaining two aspects. namely. equilibrium properties and ability to change. Physical Chemistry is one of the courses for Bachelor's Degree Programme in Science (B.Sc.). and science education (B Sc Ed ) in am· UniversitY in the whole world. This course will also be suitable as an elective for anyone who intends to study chemical engineering and other science-related professional programs since it deals with the fundamental principles governing chemical transformations.

Includes
All the module and unit objectives are specificities of the course objectives.
The course objectives are stated as follows:
• Familiarize yourself with basic instruments for physical chemistry laboratory work:
• Write and apply correctly Sl units·
• Measure in and convert other units using Sl units:
• Explain and compare the main features of solid. liquid and gas states:
• Appreciate the reasons why real gases deviate from gas laws:
• Analvze the properties of completely. partially miscible and immiscible liquids:
• Discuss the essence of types of solutions:
• Analyse phase changes in the matter:
• Describe the conditions regulating the solubility of liquid solutions.
The course though adapted to IGNOU course materials has been greatly transformed and new concepts in physical chemistry added to suit students in Nigeria. You will be required to practice as much as possible on your own.
The practical and self-assessment questions are termed as exercises provided in each of the modules.
