Course description and aims
[Description of the course] In this course, collision theory and transport phenomena based on gas molecular kinetics will be explained. Transition state theory is explained based on the knowledge of statistical thermodynamics (Gibbs energy and chemical equilibrium).
[Aim of the course] In chemical reactions, it is important to analyze reaction rates. In this lecture, students will develop the ability to derive the rate of chemical reactions by using collision theory and transition state theory based on kinetic theory of gas molecules and statistical thermodynamics, respectively. In addition, students will develop the ability to explain diffusion, heat conduction, and viscosity from the standpoint of gas molecular kinetics.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students acquire the following abilities:
(1) To be able to explain transport phenomena such as pressure, collision between molecules, and diffusion based on classical mechanics.
(2) Explain the meaning of Gibbs energy in statistical thermodynamics and the interpretation of chemical equilibrium in statistical thermodynamics.
(3) Analyze collisions between molecules using classical mechanics, and derive the rate of chemical reactions based on information on the transition state of reactions obtained from statistical thermodynamics.
Keywords
Statistical thermodynamics, Gibbs energy, chemical equilibrium, collision theory, transition state theory, transport phenomena
