1CHEMISTRY 260/261 PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY SPRING SEMESTER, 2003SYLLABUSRequired Text: Physical Chemistry, Raymond Chang, University Science BooksRecommended Supplement: Solutions Manual for Physical Chemistry, Leung and Marshall.Course Instructor: David S. Newman e-mail: [email protected]@umich.edu Phone: (734) 764-7540Office: 3403 Chem. Bldg. .Office Hours:Monday, Wednesday 3:00 —5:00 p.m.Lecture Room: 1400 Chem. Bldg. GSI:e-mail:GRADING. There will be a two-hour examination given on Friday, May 16 covering the material inChapters 14,15,16,17 of Chang. This exam will be the final exam for the Chem. 261 people and one ofthree two-hour exams for the Chem. 260 people. The second two-hour exam will be given on Monday,June 2 and will cover the material in Chapters 2-6 and a third two hour exam will be given on Monday,June 16, covering the material in Chapters 6,9,10,12. In addition, there will be several quizzes andproblem sets. For the Chem.261 people, the quizzes and problem sets will count 30 points and the finalwill count 70 points totaling 100 points. For the Chem. 260 people, the quizzes and problem sets willbe 90 points and each two-hour exam will count 70 points, giving a grand total of 300 points.REFERENCES:Physical Chemistry, Peter Atkins, Seventh Edition.

Chemistry 260/61 is a difficult course. It requires you to think in terms ofcalculus, trigonometry and intermediate algebra. You have to integrate, differentiate, use trig functionsand logarithms, draw inferences from graphs, deal with exponentials as well as learn many abstractconcepts. This, in turn, means that you can be quite proud of yourself if you get a good grade, but notfeel too badly about yourself if you find that you are in over your head , as it were, and have tostruggle to get a C. It also means that you cannot get behind in your studies and expect to succeedby cramming the night before an exam. STUDY AND WORK PROBLEMS AT LEAST THREEHOURS EVERY DAY. When you are studying, be active not passive. Ask yourself questions andanswer your own questions by writing out the answers. Work all of the assigned problems. Askquestions during lecture and, if you are still unsure of a concept, discuss it with the GSI or with meduring office hours and recitations. If you have difficulty working by yourself, form a study group withseveral colleagues. Over the years, I have found that this is a good idea and a good way to learnchemistry. Also, in order to make the course more interesting, I ve selected several problems andapplications from biology and medicine as well as biochemistry because many people in the class arebiology majors, premed and predent students as well as chemists and chemical engineersThere are several basic equations and ideas that I will assume you are more or less familiar with.These are:Coulomb s Law: V = Q1Q2/4πεor, or, F = -Q1Q2/4πεor2Where V is the Coulomb Potential Energy, Qi are the charges, r is the distance between the charges, εo is the permittivity of a vacuum and F is the force of attraction or repulsionThe de Broglie equation: p = mv = h/λWhere p is the particle s momentum, m is the particle s mass, v the particle s velocity, h is Planck s constant and λ is the wavelength of the particle.The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: ∆p∆q ≥ h/4πWhere q is the particle s position and p is its momentum.The Ideal Gas Law: PV = nRT = [m/M] RTWhere P is the pressure, V the volume, R the universal gas constant, n the number of moles, m the mass, M the molecular weight and T the temperature in Kelvins.The basic equations of quantum theory and electromagnetic radiation: E = hυ and λυ = Cwhere υ is the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation and C is the velocity of light in avacuum.3Syllabus Chem. 261/260Day/Date Topic/Chapter AssignmentWed.
