Study Notes
Physical Chemistry
- Physical chemistry primarily studies the physical principles underlying chemical reactions and physical transformations.
- It predominantly relates to the area of chemistry that deals with the physical properties and dynamics of molecules.
- Physical chemistry strives to resolve the effects of temperature, pressure, and molecular interactions on chemical reactions and physical transformations.
Thermodynamics
- The study of the transfer of heat during a change of phase or chemical reaction is the domain of thermodynamics.
Colligative Properties
- The study of colligative properties in solution involves the investigation of properties that depend on the number of solute particles present, rather than the nature of the solute itself.
