Introduction to Physical Chemistry I

3 credits · Undergraduate

The physical principles underlying chemical systems and reactivity are explored, with an emphasis on the forces between molecules and the properties of matter. Principles of thermodynamics are presented, including thermochemistry, entropy and free-energy relationships. Applications include phase equilibria, chemical equilibria, solutions, colligative properties and electrochemistry.
