Text:
Molecular Thermodynamics, D.A. McQuarrie and
J.D. Simon, University Science Books,
This course provides the student an
advanced view of thermodynamics, taken from a molecular perspective. All
students enrolled should have had at least two semesters of undergraduate
physical chemistry. Students will find that familiarity with spreadsheet and
mathematical software will be useful in the completion of assignments for this
course. Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to predict
bulk thermodynamic properties of systems from the appropriate molecular
properties and manipulate thermodynamic data to determine molecular properties.
Topics not covered by the text will be covered in the lecture, with some
references to other sources, including journal articles. Similarly, some topics
covered in the text will not be discussed in the lecture.

GRADING POLICY
The grading for this course will be based
on examination performance (300 points for each semester exam, 400 points for
the final exam). Homework problems from the text will be assigned, but not
collected. The exams may include take-home components.
Academic
honesty:
The first time that a student is
caught cheating on an exam, he or she will receive a grade of zero points for
that assignment. For further consequences of violating academic ethics please
refer to the University of Scranton Academic Code of
Honesty: http://matrix.scranton.edu/student_handbook/policy_academic_code_honesty.html
.
Students
with Disabilities
In order to receive appropriate accommodations, students with disabilities
must register with the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence and provide
relevant and current medical documentation. Students should contact Mary
Ellen Pichiarello (Extension 4039) or Jim Muniz
(Extension 4218), 5th floor, St. Thomas Hall, for an appointment. For more information, see http://www.scranton.edu/disabilities.
