Chemical and molecular thermodynamics 7.5 credits

About the course

In the course, fundamental thermodynamic concepts such as energy, enthalpy, entropy, free energy, and chemical potential are used to describe and quantitate chemical and physical change. The course specifically focuses on stability, phase transition, chemical equilibrium, and electrochemistry with emphasis on deviation from ideal behavior. The course also describes molecular mechanisms that underlie the chemical thermodynamics. Central concepts are illustrated with examples from both biology and chemistry.
