Introduction to The Physical Chemistry I Lecture Series

Hello everyone, and welcome to The Physical Chemistry I Lecture Series from The Science of Life.  First semester of Physical Chemistry deals with the thermodynamics of all things chemistry.  Most of the chemistry in this course is inorganic in nature, but the laws can be applied to organic chemistry as well. I will be referencing the book "Physical Chemistry 8th Edition" by Peter Atkins and Julio de Paula (ISBN: 9780198700722) for those of you who want to follow along.  This book is good for three semesters worth of physical chemistry study: Section 1 - Equilibrium (Semester 1, Thermodynamics); Section 2 - Structure (Semester 2, Intro to Quantum Chemistry); and Section 3 - Change (Semester 3, Statistical Chemical Thermodynamics).  This Lecture Series will deal with the first semester covered by Section 1 in the book. Asking questions are greatly encouraged, so if you have any questions, please leave them in the comments.  Make sure to write statements ...
