No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1970–71 to 1971–72 (before that, 1965–66 to 1969–70 used the number for Physical Chemistry of Surfaces); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The definition and properties of a surface. Methods for measuring such properties, their significance, and theoretical interpretation. Chemisorption and physical adsorption and their relationship to catalysis. Properties and use of catalysts. (This is a course which could be taken by non-physical chemists.) Department of Chemistry
As printed in the 1970–71 to 1971–72 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

Another title: Physical Chemistry of Surfaces, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
Thermodynamics of the adsorbed phase. Heats of adsorption. Surface heterogenity. The adsorption isotherm. Statistical mechanics of adsorption. Chemisorption and catalysis. Kinetics of adsorption chemisorption. The nature of adsorptive forces. Quantum mechanics applied to surface phenomena.
