09-214 Physical Chemistry

9 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This is a onesemester course intended primarily for students majoring in Biological Sciences, students pursuing a B.A. degree program in Chemistry, and students in the B.S.A.program with a concentration in chemistry. The course focuses on thermodynamics, transport and reaction rates and their application to chemical and biological systems. Emphasis is given to attaining a good fundamental understanding of entropy and free energy. This is more a concepts than skills building course. Topics include applications of thermodynamics to chemical and biochemical equilibria, electrochemistry, solutions, and chemical kinetics. 3 hrs. lec.

Prerequisites: 09-106 and (21-124 or 21-122) and (33-121 or 33-111 or 33-141 or 33-106)
