Course content
1) Data processing and analysis - MS Excel, OL Origin. 2) Numerical calculations - CAS Maple. 3) Liquid-vapor equilibrium in two-component systems (distillation, construction of isobaric phase diagrams). 4) Spectrophotometric study of complex formation. 5) Dissolution kinetics. 6) Measurement of Raman and DRIFT spectra of powder materials. 7) Determination of thermal expansion, glass transition and melting temperature using thermomechanical analysis. 8) Microscopic determination of nucleation rate and crystal growth. 9) Rotational-vibrational spectra of gases - interpretation of spectra, calculation of internuclear distances. 10) Measurement of infrared spectra of solids using KBr technique.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Laboratory work
Learning outcomes
The course is focused to practice sophisticated experimental techniques employed in the specialization of Physical Chemistry, especially from branches of phase equilibrium, chemical equilibrium, kinetics, calorimetry and spectroscopy.
After completing the course, students should have a sufficient level of knowledge and practical skills needed to complete other laboratory exercises of the specialization and to work independently on their diploma thesis.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of basics of the physical chemistry from the previous courses and the basic laboratory work skills.

Assessment methods and criteria
Home assignment evaluation

Written evaluation of the laboratory practice - 60% of the subject examination. Final examination - 40% of the subject examination.
