Course Description

This is a core course for anyone pursuing the BSc or a major in chemistry. This rigorous and comprehensive course continues building student knowledge of concepts in modern physical chemistry. The material covers: Gases, Liquids & Solids introducing the student to adhesive forces and the characteristics of ideal and non-ideal gases; Surface Chemistry and discusses catalytic activity at surface; and Electrochemistry and oxidation-reduction reactions with insight into industrial chemical processes as related to redox reactions. The knowledge and understanding gained in this course will be important for the more advanced physical chemistry and elective courses. The final grade for CHEM 3370 will be determined from student performance in the in-course examinations, graded tutorials and the final examination.
