Physical Principles of Chemistry

Credits: 4

Prerequisites: CH 110, MA 111

The study of physicochemical properties will be extended and advanced. The laws of thermodynamics, which involve energy, enthalpy, entropy and free energy concepts, will be applied to chemical systems. Other topics include: vapor pressures and colligative properties of solutions; the phase rule; kinetics of homogeneous reactions; reaction mechanisms and homogeneous catalysis; and electrolytic conductance and electrochemistry, with applications to the design of batteries, fuel cells and sensors.
