CHEM 351Intro. To Physical Chemistry

Catalog

The objective of this course is to provide a calculus-based introduction to thermodynamics, statistical thermodynamics, as well as kinetics with applications to chemistry. FORMAT: Lecture PREREQUISITES: CHEM 104/105/106 or CHEM 107/108 or CHEM 111, MATH 224/225 and MATH 226/227, PHYS 121 and PHYS 122 BOOKS: D. W. Ball, Physical Chemistry, Second Edition (Cengage Learning, 2015). CHEM 361 is the required course for CHEM BS with Emphasis in Biological Chemistry. Chemistry BA majors can take either CHEM 351 or CHEM 361. CHEM 351 and 361 are both introductory physical chemistry courses covering the same subject, albeit with different emphases and examples. Therefore, students can obtain credit for only one of these courses, and if one is on their record, they cannot register for the other.
