CHEM 3560 - Physical Chemistry II

Goals: To further develop concepts in thermodynamics and chemical kinetics and concepts of quantum mechanics and demonstrate applicability to real systems.

Content: This course continues using the material that was learned in part I to extend our understanding of thermodynamics to phase equilibria, chemical equilibria, theory of solutions and chemical kinetics. Time permitting we will look at extensions to non-equilibrium systems. Quantum mechanics continues with the introduction of the multielectron atomic system, then molecules and bonding, and applications in spectroscopy.

Taught: Annually, spring.

Prerequisites: CHEM 3550 (C- grade of better).
