Learning Outcomes
- conduct experiments to quantify thermodynamic and kinetic phenomena following experimental protocols and safety guidelines.
- quantitatively analyze the results of experiments using theoretical relationships and models.
- evaluate and report the experimental uncertainty of quantitative measurements.
- interpret the results of experiments in terms of physical chemistry concepts.
- report results of experiments in the quality and form of a scientific journal article.
- articulate and follow ethical principles in a scientific context, including standards of laboratory practice, the communication of literature research without plagiarism, and the crediting of collaborators.
