No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1989–90 to 1994–95 (before that, 1975–76 to 1981–82 used the number for Application of Chemical Thermodynamics); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
A course in chemical kinetics, which includes recent developments in reaction dynamics. Topics covered: rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions (rate laws, treatment of kinetic data, reaction mechanisms, complex and fast reactions); theory of reaction rates (collision theory, activated complex theory); selected recent topics, such as laser chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, heterogeneous catalysts. For Honours students only
As printed in the 1989–90 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Another title: Application of Chemical Thermodynamics, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
Partial molar quantities; Gibbs chemical potential and non-ideal systems; chemical equilibrium; theory of electrolytes.
Prereq: Chem 254 and 255.In years when Chem 359 is not offered, students should consider Ch E 330 or Ch E 510.
