This note
explains the following topics: Introduction to Solution Chemistry Techniques,
Experiment design and Experimental Error, Kinetics, Vacuum Techniques, Optics,
Analysis of Experimental Data.
The objective of this note is to
learn under what conditions the matter changes and to formulate the change in
terms of thermodynamic variables, and also learn the basic principles of
statistical thermodynamics for understanding the molecular motion, chemical
reactions, and kinetics. In this lecture, we first understand the core concepts
of physical chemistry, and apply them to various situations with physical
interpretation.
This note explains the
following topics: Kinetic Theory of Gases, Elementary Chemical Kinetics, Complex
Reaction Mechanisms, From Classical to Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Mechanical
Postulates , The Schrodinger Equation, Particle in a box and the real world,
Commutaing and Non-commutating Operators, A Quantum Mechanical Model for
Vibration and Rotation of Molecules, The Hydrogen Atom, Multielectron Atoms and
Chemical Bonding in Diatomic Molecules.
This note
contains advanced Physical Chemistry topics include different spectroscopic
methods as well as theoretical and computational tools to provide atomic-level understanding for
applications such as: nanodevices for bio-detection and receptors, interfacial
chemistry of catalysis and implants, electron and proton transfer, protein
function, photosynthesis and airborne particles in the atmosphere.
This book in PDF format is available completely free of charge. It is a revised
and enlarged version of the first edition published in hard-cover format in 2001
by Prentice Hall. Thermodynamics and Chemistry is designed primarily as a textbook for a
one-semester course in classical chemical thermodynamics at the graduate or
undergraduate level.
