Course description
[Purpose] This lecture is a common subject and is designed for the first-year students. The course intends to give a basic knowledge of physical chemistry. The subject provides a liberal arts education in the curriculum, and is also important for the understanding of agricultural sciences.
[Overview] The lecture provides basic concepts of quantum chemistry, chemical bonding, chemical reaction kinetics, acid and base, enthalpy, entropy, etc., from the view point of physical chemistry.
Expected Learning
- Understanding basics of quantum chemistry, and understanding chemical bonding from the view point of quantum chemistry.
- Understanding reaction kinetics and acid/base, which are important concepts in chemical reaction.
- Understanding enthalpy and entropy, both of which are important concepts in thermodynamics.

Prerequisites
This lecture is only for students in the department of Applied Biological Science (Bn). Please be careful not to confuse with this lecture with lectures of the same name for students belong to different departments.
Students need to preview and review for an amount of time as indicated in the student guidelines of TUAT, in addition to 30 hours of the attendance of lecture.
Required Text(s) and Materials
“Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter”, Brady, Hyslop, and Jespersen, Japanese version, Tokyo Kagaku Dojin
Learning time for preparation / review: according to the standard hours at our university
References
Information of references will be provided in the lecture if needed.
Assessment/Grading
Performance in lecture (10% total), examination (90% total)
Message from instructor(s)
Now it is the time to forget about your way of studying in your high school chemistry class, that is the way to memorize everything unsystematically and untheoretically. Students are expected to think systematically and theoretically about the structure and the state of chemical materials.
Course keywords
