| CHEM 350L - PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY I LAB |
|
In this course, you will put into practice the principles and theories that were introduced in the Physical Chemistry I lecture course. You will conduct experiments that are designed to discern the macroscopic properties of condensed phases. Experiments in this course involve the following physical concepts:
thermochemistry, surface tension, ionic conductivity, the relationship between viscosity and molecular weights of polymers, colligative properties, phase diagrams, partial molar volume, kinetics of vesicle formation, kinetics of a diol formation reaction, and equilibrium constants of a weak base. You will devote
careful attention to proper measurement techniques of chemical and physical properties. You will develop your ability to interpret your experimental results using the underlying theory that governs the system. In most of these experiments, you will further develop your understanding of statistical analysis in order to characterize measurement uncertainty. This is a writing intensive course. You will write formal lab reports in the format ofjournal articles in the field of physical chemistry. You will also assume the role of a journal referee by reviewing completed lab reports of peers and offering constructive criticism.
