Basic Thermodynamics for Chemists and Chemical Engineers

 YOSHIMI Yasuo
Course description
Thermodynamics is important subject to understand directions of chemical phenomena. In this subject, you will learn how to explain the chemical phenomena using parameter of energies (free energy, enthalpy, internal energy) or entropy.
Purpose of class
Understanding the concepts of free energy and entropy to explain some basic chemical phenomena.
Goals and objectives
  1. You can explain relationship chemical phenomena and free energy.
  2. You can discuss quantitatively direction of chemical phenomena using entropy or free energy.
  3. You can explain concept of free energy and entropy correctly.
