Central concepts
in this second part of the course are energy transfer, spontaneity, and change
(thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, and kinetics). The laboratory stresses basic
laboratory techniques and quantitative applications. Basic skills in
mathematics and facility with algebra are required. Concurrent enrollment in
calculus is recommended for students who intend to concentrate in chemistry.

Students study the
structure and reactions of specific types of organic compounds and develop
interrelationships that provide an integrated understanding of organic
chemistry. The course emphasizes general principles and reaction mechanisms,
but students are also expected to accumulate and utilize factual material. The
laboratory is coordinated with classroom topics and should provide direct
experience with many reactions and concepts. The laboratory is also intended to
develop familiarity with experiment design, experimental techniques, and
instrumental methods such as chromatography and spectroscopy.

Recent papers in organic
synthesis will be presented by the professor, participating students, and
visiting speakers from industry and universities. There will be exams but
performance will be evaluated primarily on the basis of seminar participation
and presentation.

This course stresses a
modern, molecular approach to the subject of physical chemistry. The first
semester begins with a study of model quantum mechanical systems and culminates
in the application of the model systems to atomic and molecular structure and
spectra. Statistical mechanics is used as a bridge between quantum mechanics
and the second semester topics of equilibrium thermodynamics and chemical
kinetics. Selected experiments
illustrate the central topics. Students analyze their data with particular
emphasis on the way in which error in fundamental measurements propagates
through to error in final results. Molecular modeling software is used to go
beyond consideration of prototypical systems.
Prerequisites:
Chemistry 141-142, Physics 141-142, and Mathematics 141-142 and 212.
