CHEM 612 - Thermodynamics

This course will focus on the relationship between energy, entropy, and the progress of chemical reactions. Major topics will include the relationship between heat and chemical reactions, calorimetry, reaction enthalpy, standard enthalpy, entropy, and free energy. An emphasis will be made on the mathematical techniques used to calculate these relationships and on how these concepts explain chemical behavior. Student participation in discussions will lead to enhanced pedagogical skills for the secondary science teacher.Pre-requisite: instructor’s consent.Credits: 3
