This course in Physical Chemistry aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of macroscopic and particulate phenomena in chemical systems through the lens of physics principles such as thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, and statistical mechanics. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze concentrations, properties of gases, ideal gas laws, thermodynamic principles, entropy, free energies, phase diagrams, equilibrium constants, and rate laws. The course employs a lecture-based teaching method and is suitable for learners interested in deepening their knowledge of the physical aspects of chemistry.
