We overview the basic chemical processes and how they can be described from a thermodynamic point of view.
Since the lecture is fairly general, it is useful not only the aspiring Chemists but also students interested in Materials Science, Physics or Nanotechnology.
主に化学熱力学の基礎を講義しますが化学的な考え方についても勉強するため、物理、物質化学、ナノテクノロジーに興味がある人にもお勧めです。
The main goal of the coarse is to give a basic overview of thermodynamic concepts and demonstrate their use on chemical systems.
Since the language of the coarse is English, it is also a good opportunity for students to get comfortable using English in a professional setting. Even if you are less confident in your language skills, feel free to join us: our goal is not to test your language skills, but to teach Chemistry.
授業の目的は英語のテストではなく化学熱力学の基礎についての勉強です。教科書は英語でも日本語でもありますので興味があったらチェレンジしましょう!
Brief overview: macroscopic and microscopic view on thermodynamic systems
Basic concepts of thermodynamics
Ideal and real gases
Laws of thermodynamics
Phase-transitions
Mixtures
Chemical equilibrium and chemical reactions
The recommended reference is Physical Chemistry (Peter Atkins, Julio de Paula, available in English and Japanese).
This lecture is equivalent to the Japanese version.
Primarily based on the results of quizzes, mid-term exam and final exam.
