Physical Chemical Principles and Applications
CHEM 230 is an intro to the physical principles underlying some of the major topics of inorganic and analytical chemistry. The liquid and solid states of matter, phase transitions, solutions, electrochemistry, coordination complexes, spectroscopy, and the principles of thermodynamics that explain observed chemical reactions will be studied from the viewpoint of the experimental scientist, with an emphasis on the application of chemical principles to a wide range of professions.
Prerequisites & course information
