Description

Students study the laws of thermodynamics and apply these laws to chemical processes in order to develop an understanding of chemical equilibrium and the nature of spontaneity in physical and chemical processes. Students also develop an understanding of the Boltzmann distribution and analyze molecular spectra in light of the insight provided by Boltzmann. Prerequisite: MTH 141, PHY 110, and CHM 225 or CHM 240
