CHE 3307 - Foundations of Physical Chemistry Credits: 4
This course covers the fundamental theories of physical chemistry and their application to chemical and biological systems. Specifically, students will be exposed to three different sets of theories including the theories of quantum mechanics and their application to electronic and molecule structure and spectroscopy; thermodynamics theories and their application to energy transfer and chemical and physical equilibrium; and finally kinetic theories and their application to molecular motion, transport properties and chemical reaction rates. The associated laboratory provides hand-on experience to students through the use of experiments that illustrate the application of each of the important theories covered in lecture to real chemical and biological systems.
Course includesa 4-hour laboratory.
Prerequisites Chemistry 1102 and Mathematics 1117

-
CHE 3308 - Advanced Physical Chemistry Credits: 4
An in-depth study of the theories of physical chemistry that extends beyond that covered in the Foundations of Physical Chemistry course. The important theories of physical chemistry are presented in a more detailed mathematical context. The core theoretical relationships are then derived from fundamentals expressions to provide insight into the strengths and limitations inherent in each set of theories. Students will also benefit from exposure to experiments through integrated laboratory exercises designed to assess the applicability of these theories in describing the behavior of real chemical and biological systems.
Course includes laboratory.
Prerequisites Chemistry 3307, Mathematics 1118, Physics 1102
Offered in Spring 2009 and every other year thereafter.
