CHEM 311-312 - Physical Chemistry

Institution:

Randolph-Macon College

Subject:

Description:

Application of the laws of physics to chemical phenomena will be examined. An attempt is made to provide a theoretical foundation for the study of the other disciplines of chemistry, and applications are drawn from these disciplines whenever possible. Topics considered include chemical thermodynamics, including its application to thermochemistry, phase equilibria, electrochemistry, and surface chemistry; the kinetic theory of gases and statistical mechanics as applied to chemical systems; chemical kinetics, including the treatment of rate data and the theory of rate processes; and quantum theory as applied to the spectra and structure of atoms and molecules. Prerequisites: CHEM 122, PHYS 152, and MATH 132 or 142. CHEM 311 is a prerequisite for CHEM 312. Three hours each. Ms. Michelsen.
