Course Description
This course concerns the teaching of modern experimental methods in physical chemistry. The goal is to illustrate concepts in thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and chemical kinetics, taught in the lecture courses 480A and 480B, through experiments concerning heat capacities, liquid/vapor equilibria, surface tension, viscosity, quantum dots, and atomic and molecular spectroscopy. Practical training is provided in the use of vacuum systems, detection electronics, oscilloscopes, simple lasers, and other modern tools in the physical chemistry laboratory, as well as in quantitative error analysis and scientific writing.
