Course description and aims
Students learn the basics of physical chemistry necessary for studying life science and technology through exercises.
This course deals pwith physical chemistry for bioscience and biotechnologystudents. It quantitatively and qualitatively describes properties of macroscopicsystems, equilibrium and spontaneous changes, chemical reactions in gasand solution phase, physical processes, molecular dynamics, and genomeinfomatics. By taking specific life phenomena as subjects, the course willpromote an essential understanding of life phenomena. The ultimate goalof the course is to get an insight into the true nature of living organsfrom the view point of chemical and physical processes.
Student learning outcomes
Deepen understanding of physical chemistry classes, primarily PhysicalChemistry I, II, and III.
Specifically, students will acquire the ability to solve basic problemsin thermodynamics, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, molecular dynamics,and genome informatics.
Keywords
physical chemistry
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Explanation of solutions to the previous exercise (about 30 minutes), andthe exercises (about 70 minutes).
Students are required to solve the problems during class time and submittheir answers at the end of class. For this reason, note that there willbe no opportunity to submit assignments at a later date in the case ofan absence without a special reason, including an absence due to a lateprovisional registration.
Course schedule/Required learning
| Course schedule | Required learning | |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Introduction to the class, and exercises on thermodynamics (1) | Solve problems in thermodynamics. |
| Class 2 | Explanation of exercises (1), and exercises on chemical equilibrium (2) | Solve problems in chemical equilibrium. |
| Class 3 | Explanation of exercises (2), and exercises on thermodynamics (3) | Solve problems in thermodynamics. |
| Class 4 | Explanation of exercises (3), and exercises on crystallography (4) | Solve problems in crystallography. |
| Class 5 | Explanation of exercises (4), and exercises on protein thermodynamics (5) | Solve problems in protein thermodynamics. |
| Class 6 | Explanation of exercises (5), and exercises on biomolecule thermodynamics (6) | Solve problems in biomolecule thermodynamics. |
| Class 7 | Explanation of exercises (6), and exercises on ion transport across biological membranes (7) | Solve problems in ion transport across biological membranes. |
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.
