My Classes

Chem 324:
Principles of Physical Chem

    An introduction to physical chemistry. Topics include the gas laws, the laws of thermodynamics, chemical and physical equilibria, properties of solutions, electrolytes, electrochemical cells, chemical kinetics, enzyme kinetics, and transport processes. Prerequisites: CHEM 118, CHEM 209, PHYS 125/116 and MATH 222 or MATH 228. Offered every spring.

Chem 361:
Modern Chemistry Laboratory

    An introduction to, and application of a variety of physico-, electro- and spectro-chemical techniques currently used for the determination of physical and molecular properties and for chemical analysis. Use of modern instrumentation, including computerized data analysis, will be stressed. Prerequisites/Corequisites: CHEM 322 or CHEM 324 or permission of instructor. Offered every spring
