Chem 343
Physical
Chemistry Laboratory
3 Hours. Experiments demonstrating
principles of thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, spectroscopy and quantum
mechanics in chemical systems using modern instrumentation and methods of data
analysis. I explain how the techniques learned in the class are used in modern
chemistry researches involving biology, physics, and material science.
