Location Hutchison Hall Room 138 (TR 9:40AM - 10:55AM)
CHEM 442-1 Physical Chemistry II Wolf Schroeder TR 9:40AM - 10:55AM
(4 credits, Fall, Spring) This course aims to provide theoretical context and practice applications for science and engineering students interested in deepening their understanding of complex phenomena underlying laboratory physical chemistry, as well as technological methods or environmental processes. Non-linear dynamics (and thermodynamics) are shown as foundations of complex behavior of chemical, biological and environmental processes. The evolution of multi-component systems to ever increasing complexity, modeled in terms of multiple interactions, is guided by local dynamical equilibrium and environmental constraints. Thus, multiple collisions governed by classical deterministic forces are shown to result in a host of thermodynamic phenomena, such as the kinetic gas laws, the three main Laws of Thermodynamics, establishment of equilibrium in chemical reactions and between different material phases, solvation and mixing, as well as transport of energy by mass flow. Since most of the laboratory or natural processes involving transformation of materials and energy rely on some basic quantum mechanical properties of microscopic organization, some quantum statistical principles are also reviewed in the course. This course uses the Tues/Thurs 8:00 - 9:30 am Common Exam time. Prerequisites: General Chemistry (CHEM 131 and CHEM 132 or equivalent) first-semester Physics (PHY113 or equivalent) and Calculus (MTH 143 or equivalent).
