Control methods for the restriction of air pollution are outlined. I. A comprehensive first course in physical chemistry is given with emphasis on the mathematical approach. Thermochemistry, the laws of thermodynamics and phase equilibria are considered. Laboratory experiments are designed to illustrate principles and to enable students to master physico-chemical techniques. Properties of atoms and ions, bonding theory and structure, acid-base theory, reactions of inorganic compounds, nonaqueous solvents, and coordination chemistry are studied.
Emphasis is on the underlying theoretical concepts involved.
Spring even years. Electrochemistry, colloids, kinetic theory, reaction kinetics, and statistical mechanics are studied. Laboratory emphasis is on electrical measurements and kinetic studies. Spring odd years. This course acquaints the senior student with techniques used in simple research problems.
