Course Objective

Thermodynamic concepts could be expanded into chemical systems and transformations. During the first 50 years of the twentieth century, thermodynamics progressively pervaded all aspects of chemistry and flourished as a recognizable entity on its own chemical thermodynamics. Progressive expansion in range of areas in science and engineering that has been illuminated by thermodynamic concepts and principles. The primary objective of chemical thermodynamics is to establish a criterion for determining the feasibility or spontaneity of a given physical or chemical transformation. The main objective of this course is the analysis of spontaneity and equilibrium in chemical processes. The thermodynamic concepts and methods will provide a powerful approach to the understanding of chemical problems.
