Introduction to the first and second laws of thermodynamics, with applications to systems with chemical change; Gibbs free energy and equilibrium in multi-phase, multi-component systems; Clapeyron equation and phase equilibria; properties of solutions. Roult's and Henry's Laws; azeotropes, euectics; applications to ideal and non-ideal systems.

Note: Formerly the first half of CH 270. This course makes a substantial use of calculus. Students with grades below 5 in MAT 115 may experience difficulty. The Department strongly recommends that students take MAT 214 as a corequisite with this course.


Credit Restriction: Credit may be obtained for only one of Chemistry 271 or CH 270

Prerequisites: (Chemistry 102 or Chemistry 206) and Mathematics 115 and 2nd year standing required
