CHEM 439 - Gas Phase Kinetics: Atmospheric Chemistry

(3)
An introduction to analysis of the chemical reactivity and physical structure of matter, the mathematical models describing matter, and the methods of characterizing and measuring properties of matter related to atmospheric chemistry. This analysis of atmospheric chemistry will use advanced kinetics and thermodynamic principles to understand the past, present and future issues related to the global atmosphere. In addition, students will learn to discuss the relationship of chemistry to society and to their own lives (i.e., discuss the character of chemistry as a humanistic activity that results in the application of these principles to their profession, either in chemistry-related fields, in teaching, or continuing in graduate or professional schools. Prerequisites: CHEM 223, 233, 331. Fall.
