Introduction to Physical Chemistry II

Three credits · Undergraduate

Students will examine applications of chemical thermodynamics to a diverse range of topics including phase equilibria, electrochemistry, and non-ideal solutions. Principles governing the dynamics of systems, including kinetic molecular theory of gases, transport properties, and rates of chemical reactions are also discussed. Topics of relevance to the world of today include the discussion of the physical chemistry of battery systems and fuel cells to replace internal combustion engines, and the use of phase equilibria in the fabrication of electronic components. Credit will be granted for only one of CHEM 232 or CHEM 336. Prerequisite: CHEM 335. Three credits and lab/tutorial.
