CHEM 3602:Physical Chemistry II: Reaction Kinetics and Thermodynamics

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: A grade of “C” or better in CHEM 3601 and PHYS 2212 Concurrent:
CHEM 3602L
This course is the second in a two-semester sequence covering physical chemistry, and has its primary emphasis on chemical thermodynamics, reaction kinetics and dynamics, statistical thermodynamics. The course includes physical and chemical properties of real and ideal gases, the laws of thermodynamics and their application to physical and chemical systems, treatment of phase equilibria and chemical equilibria, and extends the application of quantum mechanics to thermodynamics in the development of statistical thermodynamics.
