Annotation
The aim of this course is to acquaint students with basic principles of electrochemistry. This includes introduction of basic definitions, brief description of electrolytes and their behaviour, equilibria in electrochemical systems and kinetics and mechanisms of electrochemical reactions. Students are expected to be familiar with basics of physical chemistry.
