| •Course Purpose |
| The purpose of this course is to provide students with expertise in quantum chemistry and thermodynamics, which are fundamental to the properties of matter and the physical aspects of chemical phenomena.
Students should be able to understand the first and second laws of thermodynamics and explain the relationship between enthalpy, entropy, free energy and chemical reactions. |
