CHEM 401 Physical Chemistry I
This course is the first part of a two-semesterphysical chemistry sequence. This course coversthermodynamics and kinetics. Thermodynamicsfocuses on the gas laws, first law, second law,and third law of thermodynamics, internal energy,enthalpy, entropy, Gibb?s energy, chemicalpotential, and how to use these thermodynamicquantities to predict the feasibly of a chemicalreaction under certain conditions. Kineticsfocuses on the rate laws and reaction mechanisms.
Prerequisite
