Outline and Purpose of the Course Students are taught basic contents related to thermodynamics and chemical kinetics, which are necessary for understanding chemical reactions.
Course Goals Through this subject, which continues from “Physical Chemistry: Fundamentals and Exercises,” students will develop the necessary abilities to master applied thermodynamics and reaction kinetics.
Schedule and Contents Lectures cover the following items. For each item, lectures are given at the frequency indicated by [ ], meanwhile confirming the students’understanding. The order in which each item and sub-item is taught in lectures is not fixed; rather it is properly determined by the lecturer based on their policy, as well as on students’ background and understanding.

(1) Phases [3 sessions]
The concepts of phases, phase equilibriums, the phase rule, chemical potential
(2) Thermodynamics of solutions [3 sessions]
Partial molar quantity, activity, osmotic pressure, vapor pressure
(3) Chemical equilibriums [3 sessions]
Dynamic equilibriums, standard free enthalpy, equilibriums of non-ideal systems, fugacity
(4) Chemical kinetics [5 sessions]
Chemical reaction rate, rate equation, rate constant and equilibrium constant, collision theory, activated-complex theory, chain reactions, catalytic reactions
(5) Confirmation of learning achieved [1 session]
(6) Feedback [1 session]
Evaluation Methods and Policy Evaluation is based on either regular examinations only (100 marks), or performance in teaching sessions (50 marks) and regular examinations (50 marks).
However, performance in teaching sessions encompasses the mid-term examination, as well as tasks such as preparing for and reviewing lectures.
Obtaining at least 60 out of 100 marks is considered passing, while 59 or below is considered a fail.
Course Requirements Students are required to have knowledge from “Physical Chemistry: Fundamentals and Exercises,” which is taught during the previous term.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Students must review contents covered in lectures before taking the end-of-term examination.
