CHEM 2601

(3 Credits) 3 Lecture hours, 1.5 Laboratory hours This course is a calculus-based development of the mathematical aspects of physical chemistry. Topics to be covered include ideal and real gases, thermodynamic relations, reaction mechanisms and catalysis, and the quantum mechanics of simple model systems and spectroscopy. Laboratory exercises will reinforce lecture topics and develop practical skills. Note: Labs will start the second week of the semester and will be held on alternating weeks for 3 hours. Section information text: Take one of labs 501 or 502.
