Description

Fall 2021 CH 325-2B Physical Chemistry I CH 325/525-2B - Thermodynamics and Chemical Kinetics SYLLABUS Instructor Dr. Aaron Lucius; Chemistry 292; 934-8096; [email protected] TA Jaskamal Banwait, [email protected] Office Hours Tuesday and Thursday from 12 - 2 pm or by appointment. The department of Chemistry has departmental seminars on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 am - 12 pm. However, there are many of those days where there is no seminar scheduled. On days that we do not have seminar I will also be available after class for office hours. Book Silbey, Alberty, and Bawendi, Physical Chemistry, 4th Edition Solutions Manual for Physical Chemistry, 4th Edition Prerequisites ‘C’ or better in CH 117 (Gen Chem II); MA 126 (Calculus II); PH 201 (College Physics, non-calculus based) or PH 221 (General Physics, calculus based) Strongly recommend CH 355 (Quantitative Analysis) and PH 221 Specific objectives 1. Provide an in-depth understanding of the basic principles and concepts of two of the major areas of physical chemistry: thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. 2. Illustrate the basic principles of physical chemistry by numerous applications. 3. Aid in the development of your problem solving ability (both numerical and conceptual) and in enhancement of your chemical and physical intuition. Emphasis on problem solving makes this course excellent preparation for standardized tests for admission to graduate and professional school. 4. Provide a course evaluation by the IDEA survey. Flipped Classroom This course is being taught in a “flipped classroom” style. All lectures will be delivered to you, through canvas, as short videos that we have produced. You will have 5 – 7 short videos that you must watch before each meeting time on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 – 10:45 am. There will be a quiz in canvas that will be due prior to each class. You will not have access to the next set of videos until you watch the previous videos and pass the quiz with a score of 100 %.

The time spent in class will be entirely dedicated to application of the material from the videos with no organized lecture. Consequently, you must come to class prepared. Roughly ten percent of your grade will be based on this in class work. To have maximum performance in class you need to watch the videos, take notes on the videos, and successfully answer the quiz questions after watching the videos. Moreover, to have maximum performance in this class you are encouraged to read the sections in the book that are associated with that day’s videos. You are, further, strongly encouraged to watch the videos as many times as you need to in order to garner a deeper understanding of the concepts. Attendance Because classroom participation is paramount, attendance is mandatory. You will only be allowed two excused absences. Granting of an excused absence will be based on UAB policy including CoVID policy. E-mail Policy All E-mails must contain CH325 in the subject line. I will only respond to emails that contain clear and specific questions. However, I will not respond to a question that can be answered by reading the syllabus. Ask your question in the first sentence. If you feel compelled to support this question with additional information then do so after you ask the question. You have a much higher probability of receiving a response if I do not have to read three paragraphs of superfluous information to find a question somewhere buried within. Get to the point! Units Unit I Chapter 1 – Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics and Equations of State Chapter 2 – First Law of Thermodynamics Unit II Chapter 3 – Second and Third Laws of Thermodynamics Chapter 4 – Fundamental Equations of Thermodynamics Unit III Chapter 5 – Chemical Equilibrium Chapter 6 – Phase Equilibrium Unit IV Chapter 17 – Kinetic Theory of Gases Chapter 18 – Experimental Kinetics and Gas Reactions

Grading CH 325 (three credit hour course) – your final grade will be based on four exams and class participation. Class participation includes achieving 100 % on the pre-class quiz before each class hour, and attending class each day. Each exam is worth 100 points. The in class participation will be worth 100 points. Thus, there are a total of 500 points available. CH 525 The students will be graded independently of the students in CH 325. The final grade will be determined in the same way as for CH 325 with the exception that there will be an additional comprehensive written exam on thermodynamics and kinetics. The students in CH 525 are expected to perform at a higher level than the students in CH 325 on the unit exams. The in class participation will be calculated based on online quizzes and in class participation. To get full credit on the quizzes you must get 100 % on each quiz by 9:30 am on the due date. You will receive 1 point for on time completion and 0 points for late completion. However, you must complete the quiz with a score of 100 % to move on to the next set of videos and quizzes. To get full credit on the in class problem solving session you must show up on time (within reason) and take part in the problem solving session. You will not get full credit if you do not take part in the problem solving session. You must be present and participate in the discussion. There are 25 quizzes and 25 in class assignments that make up the 100 points. Add/Drop and Course Withdrawal  Drop/Add: Deadlines for adding, dropping, or withdrawing from a course and for paying tuition are published in the Academic Calendar (Links to an external site.) available online. Review the Institutional Refund Policy (Links to an external site.) for information on refunds for dropped courses.  Withdrawal: To avoid academic penalty, a student must withdraw from a course by the withdrawal deadline shown in the academic calendar and receive a grade of W (withdrawn). Failure to attend class does not constitute a formal drop or withdrawal. Exam Requirements Exams are closed book with no notes or other material allowed. Programmable calculators are allowed. However, storage of equations, formulas, constants, or text is not allowed. Storage of equations, formulas, constants, or text in calculators is a violation of the UAB Honor Code. All cellphones or other electronic devices are to be stored during the exam. If you must leave the room during the exam you will be asked to assure me that you do not have a cell phone or any other device that you could use to look up information. Violations of the above will result in a grade of zero for the exam. Students are expected to make every effort to attend exams. Consideration of an excused absence for an exam will be given only if there is documentation establishing an emergency situation and only if the instructor is notified before the beginning of the exam. Otherwise, a grade of zero will be assigned.
