CHEM 774 - Kinetics, Nuclear, & ElectrochemistryCredits: 3 This course will focus on three important topics in chemistry: kinetics, nuclear, and electrochemistry. Students will utilize mathematical methods to study the speed of chemical reactions including average and instantaneous rates of reaction, rate laws, the law of initial methods, and integrated rate laws. Additionally, discussion of changes within the nucleus of an atom resulting in the alteration of that atom will occur by identifying fundamental processes of nuclear chemistry. Biological effects related to nuclear reactions will also be discussed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Finally, this course will focus on oxidation/reduction reactions as students manipulate redox reactions by balancing chemical reactions, predicting spontaneity of redox reactions, and explaining the function of voltaic cells. Student participation in discussions will lead to enhanced pedagogical skills for the secondary science teacher. Prerequisites: Instructor consent.
