Chemistry 373 Physical Chemistry I: Thermodynamics and Kinetics Autumn semester 2021 The University of Montana (Dated: August 30, 2021) Instructor Prof. Xi Chu Office Chemistry 008 A Telephone (406) 243-4407 Lecture notes, HW, & resource http://tccl.chem.umt.edu/chmy373/ Email xi.chu@mso.umt.edu Class meeting MWF 12:00 pm-12:50 pm Chemistry 102 Quizzes/recitation Thursday 2:00-2:50 except for occasional lectures at this time Exams Thursday 2:00-3:50 Chemistry 102 Office hours arranged on individual basis by appointment Textbook Physical Chemistry, third edition, by Engel and Reid Note: Please wear a mask to attend the in-person class. The third edition of the text book is preferred, because the page and problem numbers in the homework assignment will be according to this edition. If you get other editions for some reason, it may work, although you will have to make extra effort to compare the examples and problems with the third edition. Course description Chemistry 373, thermodynamics and kinetics, is the first semester of a two-semester series in physical chemistry. Students are expected to learn the basic principles and methodologies of equilibrium thermodynamics and kinetics, which are necessary for studies and employment in chemistry. 2 Learning outcomes The following topics are covered in this course: 1. Four basic laws of thermodynamics 2. Basic thermochemistry 3. Phase equilibrium 4. Elementary reaction kinetics 5. Rate law 6. Boltzmann distribution You are expected to be familiar with the basic principles of all topics listed above upon successfully finishing the class. Course structure I will lecture during MWF classes. Attending lectures is crucial for success in this class. Thursdays are for quizzes, exams, discussions of homework problems, and occasional lecturing. We have 10 quizzes scheduled for the semester. Homework Every week you will be assigned 5 to 10 exercises, which are posted on the class website and will not be graded. Quizzes The quizzes are at 2:00 pm on Thursdays. 3 Exams In addition to the final, there will be two hour-long exams. Dates are to be arranged according to progress. Please be familiar with the University of Montana student conduct code that will govern behavior in Chemistry 373. Grading Your course grade will be based on the total points of the exams and quizzes: Hour exams 200 Final exam 200 Quizzes 20 pts each 100 Total 500 Note that out of the ten quizzes, five of your best scored ones will be counted towards the total.
