CHEM 75 Physical Chemistry I

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.

Prerequisite

CHEM 6 (or CHEM 10) and PHYS 13 (or PHYS 15, or PHYS 3 and PHYS 4) and MATH 8, or permission of the instructor. Supplemental course fee required.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
