Undergraduate-level course taught during the autumn semester for students majoring in Material Sciences, Life Sciences, and Environmental Sciences. The lectures cover fundamentals of thermodynamics including the first and second laws of thermodynamics, solution thermodynamics, as well as their applications to phase and chemical equilibria, electrochemistry, and surface chemistry. Basics of chemical kinetics including rate laws and reaction mechanisms are also included.
