Thermodynamics and Chemical Kinetics CHEM 360 (3)

Classical thermodynamics and chemical kinetics with a focus on their applications to chemical systems. Concepts of energy, enthalpy, entropy, spontaneity and equilibrium are explored in addition to reaction rates, mechanisms, and molecular reaction theories. Emphasis is placed on developing an understanding of how thermodynamic properties govern chemical change. Prerequisite: CHEM 260 with a minimum grade of C-. Recommended: MATH 251. MBB 323 will be accepted in lieu of CHEM 360.
