Course description |
In this class, we learn thermochemistry, a branch of physical chemistry dealing with the change of a macroscopic system from the standpoint of energy. |
Expected Learning |
After completing this course, you will be able to answer to the following questionnaires. (1) How the state of gaseous system is described with parameters such as pressure (P), volume (V) and temperature (T)? Is there any general formula independent of the gas species? (2) Is the chemical reaction exothermic or endothermic and how much is the reaction energy? (3) Can you tell if the reaction is a spontaneous process at some specific temperature? |
