Abstract

Part 1 Equilibrium properties of electrolytes: electrolytes - elementary concepts structure of solutions interionic interactions acids and bases special cases of electrolytic systems. Part 2 Transport processes in electrolyte systems: irreversible processes common properties of fluxes of thermodynamic quantities production of entropy, the driving forces of transport phenomena conduction of electricity in electrolytes diffusion and migration in electrolyte solutions the mechanism of ion transport in solutions, solids and polymers melts transport in a flowing liquid. Part 3 Equilibria of charge transfer in heterogeneous electrochemical systems: structure and electrical properties of interfacial regions reversible electrodes potentiometry. Part 4 The electrical double layer: general properties electrocapillarity structure of the electrical double layer methods of the electrical double-layer study the electrical double layer at the electrolyte-non-metallic phase interface. Part 5 Processes in heterogeneous electrochemical systems: basic concepts and definitions elementary outline of simple electrode reactions the theory of electron transfer transport in electrode processes methods and materials chemical reactions in electrode processes adsorption and electrode processes deposition and oxidation of metals organic electrochemistry.
