- Predict product and mechanism for given organic reactants + reagents (10 examples).
- Compute ΔG° from ΔH° and ΔS° and find equilibrium constant at a specified T (5 problems).
- Determine geometry and magnetic properties of transition-metal complexes (5 problems).
- Fit experimental rate data to determine order and activation energy (3 problems).
The physical chemistry chapters (quantum mechanics, kinetics, thermodynamics) move quickly. Students often report needing supplementary resources (e.g., Atkins’ Physical Chemistry ) for deeper derivations and more practice problems. Predict product and mechanism for given organic reactants
In the words of the fictionalized version of chemist Roald Hoffmann: “Chemistry is not a pile of facts to be memorized. It is a way of seeing the world.” Chemistry³ gives you those eyes. The physical chemistry chapters (quantum mechanics
