Physical Chemistry I

Undergraduate

An examination of the laws of classical thermodynamics, followed by applications to the properties of gases, liquids, and solids, as well as to solutions, phase, and chemical equilibria. Chemical reaction thermodynamics and the kinetic theory of gases at equilibrium. An introduction to statistical thermodynamics, phenomenological transport and electrochemical reactions are discussed. Laboratories cover physical chemistry techniques drawn from these areas. Supplemental course fee required.
