Course description and aims

This course teaches solution thermodynamics and chemical equilibria in solutions. We would not know the concentrations of chemical species in solution without chemical analyses. However, we can find out them by calculations if all of the equilibrium relations are quantitatively known.
Gravimetric and volumetric analyses are designed based on solution thermodynamics and equilibria. Although these analytical methods appear classical, some of the advanced technologies strongly rely on these methods that are highly reliable. Solution thermodynamics and chemical equilibria are essential fundamentals of chemistry. What is taught in this course may be considered as simple extensions of what was studied in chemistry classes in high school. The essential nature of the theme treated in this course is, however, conceptual and often difficult to understand. This course facilitates students' ability to understand the concepts of solution equilibria and apply the knowledge studied in the classes to practical systems, including acid rain and effect of carbon dioxide on the concentration level of carbonate in sea water.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will:
1) Understand basic solution thermodynamics.
2) Be able to calculate the concentrations of chemical species based on solution equilibria.
3) Be able to explain the principle of titration.

Keywords

Propagation of error, Solution thermodynamics, Chemical equlibria, Acid and base, Complexation, Redox, Titration

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

1) At the beginning of each class, solutions to homework are reviewed.
2) Students are given exercise problems as homework in each class.
3) Before coming to class, students are required to read the corresponding part of the textbook.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
