CHEM 3550 - Thermochemistry Goals: To introduce and develop fundamental concepts of thermodynamics applied to chemical problems and to introduce and/or further develop problem-solving techniques using mathematical tools.
Content: Thermodynamics is introduced and developed around chemical systems. Topics covered include the study of the properties of gases, a statistical foundation of thermodynamics, laws of thermodynamics, free energies and equilibrium, solution properties and applications of thermodynamics to electrochemistry. Time permitting applications in kinetics and non-equilibrium systems may be explored.
Prerequisites: CHEM 1140 and Math 1180 with grades of C- or better, and PHYS 1160 or PHYS 1240 (or co-registration in one of the PHYS courses), or instructor permission
Note: CHEM 3550 and CHEM 3560 can be taken in either order.
