General description In the present subject we intend to develop the fundamentals of Chemical Thermodynamics which have been introduced in previous subjects in order to apply them to systems of particular chemical interest, such as macromolecules and colloids, as well as to the adsorption processes. For accomplishing these purposes, Transport Phenomena are studied first, using some basic elements of Kinetic Theory which will be analyzed more deeply in the subject 'Química Física V: Cinética Química' of the third year. It is then possible to study the origin of ionic conductivity and discuss its chemical applications extensively. By using the thermodynamic treatment of the interface, the stability of colloidal systems can be analyzed and the adsorption processes studied. The experimental methods for the study of the structure and composition of interfaces are presented and used as far as possible in lab experiments. Such methods include those based on surface tension measurements and also those related to adsorption on solid surfaces. The experimental methods needed for the study of macromolecules and colloids are also studied.
