B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes
1. Course DescriptionThe primary goal of chemical thermodynamics is the physical explanation of the fundamental principles governing the variety of chemical phenomena taking place in the world around us.
The goal of this course is to give students a conceptual understanding of the main principles of thermodynamics laws. Topics include: the concept of work, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy; the Clausius, Gibbs definition of entropy; entropy and information; spontaneous and nonspontaneous processes; thermodynamics of chemical reactions and Carnot cycle as an application on energy changes.
2. Course Main Objective
It describes thermodynamic laws related to energy, its shapes and transformations, and applies them to chemical reactions, ideal and non-ideal chemical systems and their equilibrium
