(Common to all branches of B.E. / B. Tech. Programmes)
UNIT I CHEMICAL THERMODYNAMICS
Second law: Entropy - entropy change for an ideal gas, reversible and irreversible processes;
entropy of phase transitions; Clausius inequality. Free energy and work function: Helmholtz and
Gibbs free energy functions; Criteria of spontaneity; Gibbs-Helmholtz equation; ClausiusClapeyron equation; Maxwell relations – Van‟t Hoff isotherm and isochore. Chemical potential;
Gibbs-Duhem equation – variation of chemical potential with temperature and pressure.
UNIT II POLYMER CHEMISTRY
Introduction: Classification of polymers – Natural and Synthetic; Thermoplastic and
Thermosetting. Functionality – Degree of polymerisation. Types and mechanism of
polymerisation: Addition (Free Radical, cationic, anionic and living); condensation and
copolymerisation. Properties of polymers: Tg, Tacticity, Molecular weight – weight average,
number average and polydispersity index. Techniques of polymerisation: Bulk, emulsion,
solution and suspension.
UNIT III KINETICS AND CATALYSIS
Introduction – reaction velocity, factors affecting reaction velocity, rate constant, order of
reaction, molecularity, pseudo molecular reactions, zero, first, second and third order reactions,
reactions of fractional orders, determination of order of reactions. Catalysis: Auto catalysis -
Enzyme Catalysis: Michaelis-Menton equation; factors affecting enzyme catalysis.
Heterogeneous Catalysis: Types of adsorption isotherms: Langmuir–Hinselwood and Rideal–
Eley Mechanism.
UNIT IV PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND SPECTROSCOPY
Photochemistry: Laws of photochemistry - Grotthuss–Draper law, Stark–Einstein law and
Lambert-Beer Law. Photoprocesses - Internal Conversion, Inter-system crossing, Fluorescence,
Phosphorescence, Chemiluminescence and Photo-sensitisation. Spectroscopy:
Electromagnetic spectrum - Absorption of radiation – Electronic, Vibrational and rotational
transitions. Width and intensities of spectral lines. Spectrophotometric estimation of iron. UV visible and IR spectroscopy – principles, instrumentation (Block diagram) and applications.
UNIT V NANOCHEMISTRY
Basics - distinction between molecules, nanoparticles and bulk materials; size-dependent
properties. Nanoparticles: Nanocluster, nanorod, nanotube and nanowire. Synthesis:
Precipitation, thermolysis, hydrothermal, solvothermal, electrodeposition, chemical vapour
deposition, laser ablation; Properties and Applications. Risk discussion and Future
perspectives.
