4449 Syllabus Overview

The 2020 Syllabus Overview for CHEM 4449 at SHSU

Background
These are videos of Dr. Williams’ CHEM 4449 Physical Chemistry Lectures at Sam Houston State University in the Spring of 2018. They are provided for your benefit for studying if you are a student or for your curiosity if you are not a student.
This course begins with the quantum world established in the first semester CHEM 4448 and explores the statistical basis of thermodynamics, classical thermodynamics, heat engines, phase diagrams, fluid properties, transport phenomena, and energy sources, sinks, and conversions on a global scale. It is a fascinating trip from the quantum to the universe in 3.5 months.
