Learning Outcomes
# Öğrenme Kazanımı
1 To be able to express various state equations of real gases. Explains the Ideal Gas Law and applies partial pressures and Dalton's law for gas mixtures. Describes real gas behavior and evaluates the causes of deviation (intermolecular interactions, volume effect).
2 Explains and interprets the basic concepts of thermodynamics (system, environment, state variables, processes). Solve physicochemical problems using thermodynamic relations.
3 Expresses the First Law of Thermodynamics and makes energy balance calculations in closed systems. Distinguishes the concepts of heat, work and internal energy and calculates them for different processes.
4 Explains the Second Law of Thermodynamics and calculates entropy changes. Evaluates the feasibility of processes using the concepts of entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy.
5 Student analyzes thermochemical data and uses the results scientifically to solve various problems.
