The City College of New York Department of Chemistry Syllabus for Physical Chemistry 2 Spring 2010 Course: Hours: Location: Instructor: Text: Chemistry 33200/L (Physical Chem. 2); Chemistry 33201/MM (Physical Chem. 2 Workshop) Spring Semester (Jan. 28, 2010 – May. 17, 2010) Lecture: M, W: 9:30 A.M. – 10:45 A.M.; Workshop: F: 9:30 A.M. – 10:50 A.M. Lecture, MR-1; Workshop, MR-1307 Dr. Daniel L. Akins; Phone: (212) 650-6953; Email: [email protected] Office: MR-1120; Laboratory: MR-1122, -1124 and -1111B R. J. Silbey, R. A. Alberty and M. G. Bawendi, Physical Chemistry, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 4th Edition, 2005. COURSE DESCRIPTION Catalog Description: Spectroscopy, quantum mechanics, and statistical thermodynamics. Students who feel that they would benefit from workshops should also take Chem. 33201. 33200: Physical Chemistry 2 This course deals with some of the basic principles of quantum mechanics and its supplanting of classical physics concepts in understanding atomic and molecular spectra as well as providing a means for calculating thermodynamic functions through application of statistical thermodynamics, which relies on analytical expression for quantum mechanical energies. Prereq.: Chemistry 33000 (Math 391 highly recommended). 33201: Physical Chemistry 2 Workshop (Optional workshop). Coreq.: Chem 33200. 1.5 hr/wk; 0 cr. CHAPTERS TO BE COVERED 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Quantum Theory: Introduction and Principles (Chap. 9) Rotational and Vibrational Spectroscopy (Chap. 13) Atomic Structure (Chap. 10) Molecular Electronic Structure (Chaps. 11) Electronic Spectroscopy of Molecules (Chap. 14) Statistical Mechanics (Chap. 16) Anticipated Exam Dates: 1st Exam (Chaps. 9 & 13): 2nd Exam (Chaps. 10 & 11): 3rd Exam (Chaps. 14 & 16): Final Exam (Chaps. 9, 10, 11, 13, 14 and 16): March 10, 2010 April 28, 2010 May 17, 2010 TBA After completing this course, students should be able to: 1. 2. Understand what the wavefunction means and how to interpret it. Understand the concept of quantization and how it emerges as a natural consequence of solving the Schrödinger equation and applying boundary conditions. 4/29/2017 Page 1 of 3 Dept outcome letters a,d,e a Akins, Chem. 33200 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Describe the internal states of atoms in terms of quantum numbers. Understand the concepts of orbitals and how they apply to both atoms and molecules. Become familiar with the concepts of rotational and vibrational spectra in terms of their origins from solution of the quantum mechanical wave equation, and also be able to apply selection rules, which specify allowed transitions between quantum mechanical states. Use quantum mechanical energies as energy states in statistical thermodynamic expressions dealing with the distribution of particles over available energy states. Utilize quantum mechanical energies to define partition functions, which in turn can be used to calculate thermodynamic state functions, such as entropy, enthalpy, etc. a,d a,d a,d a,d Relationship of course to program outcomes: The outcome of this course contribute to the following departmental educational outcomes: a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental principles of chemistry, including atomic and molecular structure, quantum chemistry, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, kinetics and mechanisms, equilibria, thermochemistry and thermodynamics, molecular structure and function, electrochemistry, and the periodic chemical properties of the elements. Apply the fundamental principles of chemistry to life sciences, the environment, materials, engineering, and emerging technological fields of chemistry, as well as to everyday situations. Conduct experiments and learn fundamental laboratory skills. Analyze and interpret data. Apply mathematical concepts to chemical problems. Work as part of a problem-solving team. Convey facts, theories and results about chemistry in written form. Use oral presentation to convey facts, theories and results about chemistry. Access and utilize chemical information technology. Design and execute scientific research. Apply ethical responsibilities and professional conduct. Course Objective Numbers 1-7 5-7 5-7 5-7 6,7 Assessment tools: Homework assignments (~ 3) Quizzes (0) Exams (4; including Final) Course feedback survey (End of Course Survey) to be given randomly to selected students. Grading: There will be at least three one-hour exams and a final. Some students may be exempt from the final based on class performance. One exam will be thrown out. The Final counts as two exams. Grading is done on a curve defined by natural breaks between performance by students. 4/29/2017 Page 2 of 3 Akins, Chem. 33200 A point basis for assigning grades will be followed. Special Problem sets will contribute about 10% to the total point score for grading purposes. Attendance Policy: Three consecutive absences before the end of February will be grounds for an automatic drop from the course. Special situations should be brought to my attention as soon as possible. Office Hours: I will hold office hours on Tuesdays from 2:00 P.M. until 4:00 P.M. I am, of course, available by appointment and immediately after class. References: See Web materials and numerous Physical Chemistry textbooks. 4/29/2017 Page 3 of 3 Akins, Chem. 33200
