Learning Outcomes
- derive relationships among physical and chemical properties using thermodynamics concepts and the laws of thermodynamics.
- apply state functions including energy, enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs energy, and Helmholtz energy to analyze systems and processes.
- apply thermodynamic relationships to chemical and physical systems, including heat engines, chemical reactions, phase equilibria, and electrochemical systems.
- explain the behavior of ideal gases, real gases, and supercritical fluids and the phase equilibria of single- and multi-component systems through quantitative relationships.
- determine the reaction order, half-life, and time-dependence of reactant and product concentrations from a reaction rate law expression.
- derive a rate law from a multistep chemical reaction mechanism.
