Course description
Physical chemistry is a learning, in which basic chemical principles are studied. In Physical Chemistry 1, a primary stage of chemical thermodynamics is studied from the macroscopic point of view where substances consist of aggregate of atoms and molecules.
In Physical Chemistry 2, phase transition and chemical equilibrium are studied based on the change in Gibbs energy and molecular interaction. Chemical kinetics is also studied in the second half of the class.
Purpose of class
・Understanding of phase transition and chemical equilibrium based on the change in Gibbs energy and molecular interaction.
・Understanding of chemical kinetics in relation to the concept of equilibrium and reaction.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understanding of the basics of Chemical Thermodynamics, especially the consept of "Gibbs energy", "phase transition", and "chemical equilibrium".
  2. Understand the properties of pure substances, dilute solutions, and binary mixtures.
  3. Predict the equilibrium state based on thermodynamic consideration.
  4. Understanding of the basics of Chemical Kinetics, especially the concept of "equilibrium and reaction".
  5. It is able to derive rate equation and to predict reaction mechanism based on the obtained rate equation.
