CHEM 5510 - Physical Chemistry
For premedicine, B.S.Ed., B.S.I.H., and A.B. Chemistry majors. Topics include thermodynamics, thermochemistry, equilibrium, solutions, and kinetics.
Requisites:
Credit Hours: 4
Repeat/Retake Information: May not be retaken.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 3.0 lecture
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
- Students will be able to compute changes in free energy and quantitatively describe the transformation of energy from one form to another in a variety of chemical processes.
- Students will be able to differentiate the fundamental forces and principal laws that govern the formation of chemical bonds and intermolecular interactions.
- Students will be able to distinguish between enthalpic and entropic driving forces for chemical processes.
- Students will be able to explain how changes in state functions (P,V,T) can alter equilibria in chemical systems and change the direction of chemical reactions.
- Students will be able to define and correlate the basic tenets of quantum theory and the structure of the atom.
- Students will be able to outline the principal laws of thermodynamics and to explain how these laws apply to real chemical systems.
- Students will be able to differentiate between orders of reaction, formulate rate laws, and validate steady-state approximation; and assess the overall importance of chemical kinetics in its application to reactions in solutions and catalytic reactions.
- Students will be able to derive fundamental mathematical equations covered in the topics list and associate these equations to the basic theory with guidance from the instructor.
