2022-2023 Undergraduate Catalog

CHEM 3385 PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY LABORATORY

Laboratory experience to illustrate theoretical concepts of two-semester physical chemistry sequence through experimental measurement. Laboratory exercises and reports will focus on obtaining the values of thermodynamic variables, extracting structure information from spectroscopic data, predicting molecular properties using computational methods, illustrating the reaction mechanism from kinetics data and develop written communication skills on chemistry related topics. In addition, statistical skills needed to assess data quality will be developed, and used to evaluate the need for
repetition of experiments.
