A Molecular Approach” by D. A. McQuarrie and J. D. Simon “Experiments in Physical Chemistry” 7th edition by C. W. Garland, J. W. Nibler, and D. P. Shoemaker Recommended: “Problems and Solutions to Accompany McQuarrie and Simon's Physical Chemistry. A Molecular Approach” by H. Cox Web Site http://iweb.tntech.edu/albu/CHEM3520/index.htmThis web site contains (will contain) lecture notes, homework sets and their solutions, current exams and quizzes and their solutions, old exams and their solutions. Objective The objective of the course is to continue with the presentation of the physical and chemical properties of the matter through a molecular approach. The course will cover a number of topics of thermodynamics and kinetics including the laws of thermodynamics, properties of mixtures, and rates of chemical reactions. The material presented in the class will be complemented by a set of experiments performed in the lab concerning the thermodynamical properties of mixtures and the dynamics of reactive systems. A good mathematical background is essential but will not be emphasized in the exams. Grading The course grade will be determined based on a 400 point scale: – Three mid-term– Quizzes – Final exam – Lab 18020100100points (60 points each)points points points For a passing grade, a student should obtain at least half of the points (without including the lateness) for the laboratory part of the class (minimum of 50 out of 100). No lab report will be accepted after the final exam.CHEM 3520 Spring 2004 Homework There will be regular homework assignments mainly from the problems at the end of the chapters and they represent a significant part of the course. Homework will be collected at announced intervals and checked for the level of effort, but will not be graded. The student’s homework record may play a decisive factor in the case of borderline grades. Some homework problems (or closely related) will appear on the exams. Office Hours I will be available after class (8:50 am MWF). If that time is bad for you, other times are negotiable, and appointments can be scheduled by contacting me directly. Upon your request, additional review sessions may be provided before the exams. Attendance Each student is expected to attend all classes and laboratories at the scheduled times. Information or quiz points missed during unexcused absence cannot be reclaimed. Quiz points missed during excused absence cannot be reclaimed also. Students with Disability Students with a disability requiring accommodations should contact the Office of Disability Services. An Accommodation Request should be completed as soon as possible, preferably by the end of the first week of the course. The Office of Disability Services is located in the Roaden University Center, Room 112 (phone 372-6119). Academic Dishonesty Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited, and students involved in academic misconduct, either directly or indirectly as a participant or abettor, are immediately responsible to the instructor of the class, who has the authority to assign an “F” or a zero for the exercise or examination, or to assign an “F” for the course. In addition, the instructor may temporarily exclude a student involved in academic misconduct, but should provide for the student who may make a successful appeal. [The instructor has the primary responsibility for control over classroom behavior and maintenance of academic integrity, can order the temporary removal or exclusion from the classroom of any student engaged in disruptive conduct or conduct violative of the general rules and regulations of the institution. Extended or permanent exclusion from the classroom or further disciplinary action can be effected only through appropriate procedures of the institution.] (Student Handbook)CHEM 3520 Spring 2004 Date Tentative Topic Chapter Jan 15 (Th) Course Overview, Review of Partition Functions 17 16 (F) Partition Functions for Monoatomic and Diatomic Ideal Gases 18 19 (M) *** Martin Luther King Day Holyday (no class) *** 21 (W) Partition Functions for Polyatomic Ideal Gases 18 23 (F) Ideal Gases, Equations of States 16 26 (M) Critical Parameters, Law of Corresponding States 16 28 (W) Virial Equation of State, Intermolecular Interactions 16 30 (F) The First Law of Thermodynamics 19 Feb 02 (M) Thermodynamic Quantities and Processes 19 04 (W) Heat Capacities, Thermochemistry 19 06 (F) The Second Law of Thermodynamics 20 09 (M) Molecular Interpretation of Entropy, Entropy Changes 20 11 (W) Heat Engines, The Third Law of Thermodynamics 20, 21 13 (F) Absolute Entropies, Standard Molar Entropies 21 16 (M) Exam 1 16-21 18 (W) Helmholtz and Gibbs Energies, Maxwell Relations 22 20 (F) Natural Variables 22 23 (M) Temperature and Pressure Dependence of the Gibbs Energy 23 25 (W) Phase Equilibria, The Gibbs Energy and the Phase Diagrams 23 27 (F) Chemical Potential, The Clausius-Clapeyron Equation 23 Mar 01 (M) Liquid-Liquid Solutions, Partial Molar Quantities 24 03 (W) Raoult’s and Henry’s Laws 24 05 (F) Binary Solutions 24 08 (M) Ideal and Not Ideal Solutions, Activity, Mixing 24 10 (W) Solid-Liquid Solutions, Colligative Properties 25 12 (F) Solutions of Electrolytes 25 15 (M) *** Spring Break (no class) *** 17 (W) *** Spring Break (no class) *** 19 (F) *** Spring Break (no class) ***CHEM 3520 Spring 2004 Date Tentative Topic Chapter Mar 22 (M) Chemical Equilibrium, The Van’t Hoff Equation 26 24 (W) Equilibrium Constant in Terms of Partition Functions or Activities 26 26 (F) Electrochemistry, Nernst Equation 29 (M) Exam 2 22-26 31 (W) The Kinetic Theory of
