    Intended learning outcomes for week 4

    After the lectures of Week 4, it is expected that the student:

    •can derive the differential forms of the thermodynamic functions H, A, and G
    •understands the term ‘chemical potential’ and how it is derived
    •understands the relation between activity, equilibrium constants and gibbs energy of a reaction
    •knows how to interpret the Maxwell relations


    Due to illness, the lecture on Monday will be held online. Link to the lecture is as follows:
