Gaseous state:
The gas laws. kinetic theory of gases, deviation form ideal behaviour. Amagat’s curves. Van der Waals equation. Andrew’s isotherms. Iequification of gases. Joule-Thompson effect. critical phenomena. molecular weights from gas density, abnormal molecular weights, thermal dissolution.

The Liquid state:
 The vapour pressure of liquids, intermaolecular forces, surface tension and viscosity of liquids, molecular structure and its relationship with surface tension, viscosity, optical rotation and dipole moment.

Thermodynamics:
Work, energy and heat; first law of Thermodynamics, internal energy, enthalpy, laws of Thermochemistry. heat of reaction formation etc, heat capacities of substances. Kirchoffs equation.

 Solution properties:
Dalton’s law of partial pressure, Henry’s law and distribution law and their simple applications (association dissociation and solvent extraction).

Colligative properties:
Raouit’s laws of lowering of vapour pressure, elevation of boiling point and depression of freezing point, osmotic pressure, their experimental determination.

Homogeneous equilibrium:
