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.
