CHE 735 - Electrochemistry

3 Credit(s) A survey of the fundamentals and applications of electrochemistry. Emphasis upon an understanding of the basic physical processes, rather than upon detailed mathematical treatment. Includes: thermodynamics of reversible cells and electrodes; irreversible phenomenal kinetics of electrode processes, polarization and over-potential, electrolytic processes, chronopotentiometry; fuel cells, and electrochemistry in fused salts and organic solvents.
Prerequisite: Physical Chemistry or permission of instructor.
