Course description and aims

[Summary of the course] In this course, following the Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry Laboratories I a/b, basic experimental operations in physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic synthesis, and polymer synthesis will be instructed for the sophomore students in Department of Chemical Science and Engineering. The following three themes in these fields are set: (1) “Tase separation” for learning the physical chemistry of aqueous amine solution and polymer solution, (2) “Polymer synthesis by polycondensasion” for learning reaction and characterization of polyamic acid and synthesis of Nylon-6,10, and synthesis of polypyrrole, and synthesis, characterization, and thermal stability measurement and conductivity of polymers, and (3) “Synthesis of butylisopropyl ether” for learning the nucleophilic substitution reaction and Williamson ether synthesis. The lecture also covers how to write experimental reports.
[Aim of the course] To understand and acquire the basic concepts of physical chemistry, organic chemistry, and polymer chemistry it is essential to perform experiments actually and to deeply consider the results. This course first covers fundamental operations and knowledge for basic physical chemistry experiment, organic synthesis, and polymer synthesis experiments on three themes to learn practical skills in measurement, data analysis, compound characterization, discussion of experimental results, and writing reports.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) acquire the basic concepts of physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, and polymer chemistry.
2) acquire basic techniques necessary for experiments in physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, and organic and polymer syntheses.
3) acquire how to write experimental reports.

Keywords

(Phase separation) Phase rule and phase diagram, Phase separation, Phase diagram
(Polymer synthesis by polycondensation) Cycloaddition polymerization, Interfacial polycondensation, Electropolymerization, Conductive polymer, Super engineering plastic
(Synthesis of butylisopropyl ether) Alkyl halides, Nucleophilic substitution reactions, Elimination reactions, Williamson ether synthesis

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

In this course, (1) details are explained and instructed in the first lecture. Then the students are divided into three groups to learn the following three experiments in turn: (2) Phase separation, (3) Polymer synthesis by polycondensation, and (4) Synthesis of butylisopropyl ether. In the last day, exercise problems and interpretation of the answers will be given to assess the students' level of understanding.

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

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 50 minutes preparing for class and another 50 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

Textbook for the Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry Laboratory I (in Japanese), edited by committee for the chemical engineering and industrial chemistry laboratory (Tokyo Institute of Technology, School of Materials and Chemical Technology, Department of Chemical Science and Engineering). This textbook should be purchased at the co-op prior to the initial guidance.

Assessment criteria and methods

Students will be assessed on their ability of fundamental experimental skills and achievements of learning outcomes based on the equality of reports on three themes (83%) and examination (17%).
The instructor may fail a student if he/she repeatedly comes to class late or does not submit assignments too often.
