Course description: Physical Chemistry - the most powerful and useful theory in chemistry, may be defined as “the science that describes the world in terms of atoms, molecules, and energies”. CHEM 3411 is the first part of one-year course in Physical Chemistry and it will cover Laws of Thermodynamics and their applications in Chemical and Phase Equilibrium. A good background in Physics and Calculus is assumed. Class schedule: Lectures will be held two times a week: Mondays and Wednesdays, 5.45-7.00 PM in Corrigan Hall 65 Required Text: Levine, Ira “Physical Chemistry” 5-th Ed. (Mc Graw-Hill 2002.
