Overview of class
The course covers elementary physical chemistry. Topics include chemical reaction kinetics and mechanisms and thermodynamics applied to chemical processes with an emphasis on gas phase and acid-base reactions, phase and solubility equilibria, and electrochemistry. The course title, "Advanced Physical Chemistry" implies faster coverage, more depth, and challenging problems compared to a standard General Chemistry course. Typically there are three lectures each week in addition to a discussion session and a laboratory lecture.
Must be taken concurrently with the CHEM 182-0 laboratory course.
