CHEM 331 - Physical Chemistry II

4 credits
A study of the principles of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics. Topics include the first and second laws of thermodynamics describing the state functions-internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs free energy, physical and chemical equilibria, statistical thermodynamics, rate laws and their determination, theories of reaction rates, reaction mechanism and catalysis. Laboratory experiments seek to determine the thermodynamic and kinetic behavior of systems using spectroscopic techniques as far as possible. Meets: Three hours class, three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: CHEM 330 . Corequisite or Prerequisite: CHEM 350 , MATH 151 , and PHYS 160 . Offered spring semester. CLA-Breadth/Natural Science, CLA-Quantitative
