CHM325Physical Chemistry I
3 credits | Pre-requisite: CHM212
The objectives of this course are to provide knowledge and mastery of the basic tools of thermodynamics necessary for learning chemical sciences to assess observable phenomena characteristic parameters and apply some basic principles to other aspects of chemistry. Topics: first principle and enthalpy; thermochemistry; second principle and entropy; Gibbs; bioenergetic aspects; and chemical equilibria. The different kinds of chemical reactions are also covered in this course, in order to establish the fundamental bases to calculate the reaction rates of a system. Students will be introduced to concepts of chemical kinetics and surface chemistry. They will explore chemical kinetics: reaction rate, order of reaction, simple reactions, complex reactions, and activation energy. The course also covers kinetic theory, and homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis.
CHM412Physical Chemistry II
3 credits | Pre-requisite: CHM325
This course describes the aggregation states of matter: gas, liquid, solid. We introduce the thermodynamics of mixtures, physical transformations of pure substances, phase diagrams, thermodynamic criteria for equilibrium between phases, state equation, kinetic theory of gas, statistics distribution of Maxwell and Boltzmann, intermolecular collisions, effusion velocity, diffusion, viscosity, the vapor and sublimation pressure, surface tension, viscosity and solubility will be studied. Properties and interpretation of the conductivity of solids will be evaluated according to the chemical constitution of a solid. At the end of the course, students will present a research project on a selected topic in the field.
CHM422Process Chemistry
3 credits | Pre-requisite: CHM311 Or CHM317
This course provides students with an overview of industrial chemistry and enables them to develop a process diagram and prepare to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in their subsequent studies. We also define the different types of chemical reactors, the balance mass and energy, the operating parameters of the processes and their acquisition mode. Finally, an economic and environmental study related to the chemistry of the process will be followed. At the end of the course, students will present a research project on a selected topic in the field.
CHM340Spectroscopic Methods
3 credits
This course focuses on various spectroscopic methods. The goal is to introduce students to the theory and practice of various spectroscopic techniques used in chemistry and related sciences. The students will also learn the instrumentation and applications (UVvis, IR, SAA, fluorescence, NMR and mass spectroscopy).
CHM330Theoretical Chemistry
3 credits | Pre-requisite: CHM212
The course material covers quantum theory for chemists and introduces the basic theoretical concepts of molecular orbital theory and spectroscopy. The successful students will develop a clear understanding of the origin of molecular orbitals in chemistry, how they are used to understand chemical bonding, and know how simple quantum model systems can be applied to understand spectroscopic data.
