CHE 304 — THERMOCHEMISTRY (CUR-202)

CHE 304 — THERMOCHEMISTRY is a DePaul University catalog course in College of Science and Health. This is the second course in a three-quarter long physical chemistry sequence. This course explores the molecular-scale effects of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. The understanding of quantum mechanics gained during CHE 302 is extended into the molecular regime, with a focus on bonding. The basic principles of thermodynamics are explored in detail.

Catalog description

This is the second course in a three-quarter long physical chemistry sequence. This course explores the molecular-scale effects of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. The understanding of quantum mechanics gained during CHE 302 is extended into the molecular regime, with a focus on bonding. The basic principles of thermodynamics are explored in detail. These principles are then applied to build up a detailed understanding of chemical equilibria and the properties of various states of matter. Students must co-register for the laboratory companion course, CHE 305 . (3 quarter hours) C- or better in CHE 302 and CHE 303 are a prerequisite for this class.
