Relation to curriculum

Physical Chemistry (2)   discusses the nature of the changing system, mainly kinetics and   electrochemistry, including a brief introduction to the thermodynamics of   non-equilibrium systems and interface phenomena and surface chemistry. The   task of this course is thus to learn the basic principles of   electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, surface phenomena, and colloidal   chemistry. Through the study of this course, students should master the basic   knowledge of physical chemistry and have the ability to analyze and solve   some practical problems. Students take this course after pre-requiring   advanced mathematics, general physics and general chemistry courses.
