Course Description

Summary

The final course in the Chemistry 1-4 sequence will examine the energetics of chemical changes. Focusing on the enthalpic and entropic contributions to free energy change, we will examine how energy or work can be extracted from chemical systems and how these systems behave as they tend toward equilibrium. The energetics of electron transfer reactions will be examined along with the practical considerations of making use of such reactions to power electric devices. The laboratory will primarily serve as a vehicle for students to pursue independent research that may or may not be directly related to lecture material.
