...1974
At its meeting of 16th July, the Senate Committee on
Undergraduate Studies discussed the attached new course proposals
for - Chemistry 005-3 - The Chemistry of Life; 007-3 - Chemistry in
the World: An Experimental Approach; Chemistry 357-3 - Chemical and
Instrumental Methods of Identification of Organic Compounds;
Chemistry 455-3 - Organic Synthsis; Chemistry 458-3 Physical
Organic Chemistry; Chemistry 460-2 - Polymer Chemistry; Chemistry 462-2 -'
Chemical Rate Processes; Chemistry 464-2 Physical Chemistry of
Solutions; Chemistry 469-2 - Special Topics in Physical Chemistry;
and Chemistry 472-3 Special Topics in Theoretical Chemistry.
A
t the
same time, the Committee noted that addition of these courses to the
Calendar involved the deletion of the following courses: Chemistry
006-2; Chemistry 351-3; Chemistry 454-3; Chemistry 457-3;
Chemistry 463-3; and Chemistry 471-3.
?
The Committee now transmits
these proposals to Senate for its consideration and recommends that
the additions to and deletions from the Calendar noted above be
approved. ?
Should this motion be approved, the Committee recommends
that the normal two semester time-lag requirement be waived in the
case of Chemistry 007-3; 357-3; 455-3; and 458-3 so that these
courses may first be offered in the Spring. semester, 1975.
One further note should be added to this recommendation.
In the discussion of Chemistry 357,it was noted that this course
appeared to be comparable to that in Clinical Chemistry which had
recently been approved by Senate. Inview of this, the question
was asked whether it was the intention of the Department of Chemistry
to develop a minor program in identification of compounds. In
response to this question, the Chairman of the Science Faculty
Curriculum Committee noted that there was no intention at this time
to produce such a proposal and that the new courses were designed
to accommodate an area of growing importanc in this discipline.

Physical Chemistry Laboratory II - Change in prerequisite.
Prerequisite: Chem
366-2
Rationale - The above changes to the physical chemistry offerings
reflect some re-arrangement of the course material between courses,
and the removal of the consecutive nature of Chem
361
and
362;
these latter two courses may now be taken in any sequence. This
will enable students to handle the prerequisite structure in a
more flexible manner. The prerequisites reflect the availability
of new courses in other departments, and also take into account
the re-arranged course material within each course.

Course Outline
The course content of Chem 007 will be similar to Chem 006 with
the addition of a discussion/lecture period to thoroughly explore
the chemistry involved in the experiments at hand and the
relationship between these and society. The experiments
performed are generally selected from the list below with
several weeks allowed for students to perform a self-chosen
project on related topics. The emphasis in the course is to
allow a non-scientist to become aware of the role of chemistry
in society and how a chemist works and not just on the
depth of the students' understanding of the chemical
principles involved.
- The language of chemistry
- Useful experimental measurements
- Physical methods of separation and purification

Physical Chemistr
y
of Solutions
1.
Thermodynamics of non-ideal solutions - activity and
fugacity (standard states); their measurement. Experimental
measurements on solutions - enthalpy, vapour pressure,
miscible and immiscible systems, dilute systems (solubility
behaviour, etc).
2.
Statistical mechanics
a) appropriate ways of treating the partition function
for pure liquids - virial expansion, cell theory and
and their limitations;
h) AprrOximate theories of solutions - Hildebrand, ruggenheim,
Regular Solution Theory
3.
The generalized van der Waals theory - and its application
to real systems (with some discussion of the radial
distribution function approach).
L
I.
A look at water and its solutions with other liquids,
gases and solids; a comparison with non-polar mixtures
and inferences therefrom.
5.
Ionic solutions - observed experimental behaviour,
salting in, salting out, etc.
6.
The Debye-Huckel theory, etc.
7.
Types of solid solutions (including alloys, clathrates)
and phase diagrams.
