Using the concept of Gibbs energy, a fundamental principle of chemical thermodynamics, students will study phase equilibria
and chemical reaction equilibria.
Students will understand reaction kinetics and the concepts of equilibrium and reactions.
Students will understand reaction kinetics and the concepts of equilibrium and reactions.
Physical chemistry is a field that studies the fundamental principles of chemistry. In Physical Chemistry I, we learned the
basics of chemical thermodynamics, examining substances as assemblies of atoms and molecules from a macroscopic perspective.
In Physical Chemistry II, we will explore phase equilibria and chemical reaction equilibria using the concept of Gibbs energy,
a key principle in chemical thermodynamics. In the latter half of the course, the focus shifts to reaction kinetics, which
deals with chemical changes (deviations from equilibrium). Students will also gain an understanding of the concepts of equilibrium
and reactions.
- Understanding of the basics of Chemical Thermodynamics, especially the consept of ”Gibbs energy”, ”phase transition”, and ”chemical equilibrium”.
- Understand the properties of pure substances, dilute solutions, and binary mixtures.
- Predict the equilibrium state based on thermodynamic consideration.
- Understanding of the basics of Chemical Kinetics, especially the concept of ”equilibrium and reaction”.
- It is able to derive rate equation and to predict reaction mechanism based on the obtained rate equation.

A midterm examination (50%) and a final examination (50%) will be administered to assess achievement of the course learning
objectives. A total score of 60 out of 100 or higher is required to pass. A score of 60 corresponds to a level at which students
understand the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics, phase equilibrium, chemical equilibrium, solution theory, and reaction
kinetics, and are able to solve standard problems covered in the lectures. Specifically, students are expected to be able
to explain the relationship between Gibbs energy and equilibrium, understand the basic properties of pure substances, dilute
solutions, and binary systems, determine the direction of chemical change and equilibrium conditions from a thermodynamic
perspective, and handle basic rate laws to infer simple reaction mechanisms.
