Course description |
[Synopsis] Themes in this course include chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid-base equilibrium, physical equilibrium, electrochemistry and chemistry of elements. The course emphasizes to understand theories that are basis to learn life sciences from the view point of inorganic chemistry. [Objective] This course provides the basic knowledge in the field of chemistry, which is important for the understanding of advanced subjects. Instructor, (contact person, Naoki Haga) |
Expected Learning |
The standards of this course are as follows: - Determination of chemical reaction rate law and discussing reaction mechanism by means of chemical kinetics - Understanding theories of chemical and physical equilibria, and describing the equilibria by means of various relation equations - Understanding concept of acid-base equilibrium in aqueous solution, and designing buffer solution with desired pH and explaining titration curves - Explaining basic principle and theory of electrochemistry and nuclear chemistry. - Explaining various properties of elements, based on the periodic table Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: (A) See the Curriculum maps.

Prerequisites |
This course is only for students in the department of Applied Biological Science (Bn). Please be careful not to confuse this course with others of the same name for students belonging to different departments. In addition to 30 hours that students spend in the class, students are recommended to prepare for and revise the lectures, spending the standard amount of time as specified by the University and using the lecture handouts as well as the references specified below. |
Required Text(s) and Materials |
“Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter” (7th Edition), N.D. Jespersen, A. Hyslop and J.E. Brady (John Wiley & Sons, Inc.) |
References |
“Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight” (6th Edition), P. Atkins, L. Jones and L. Laverman (W.H. Freeman and Company) |
Assessment/Grading |
- Efforts in lectures (20% in total) are assessed by comprehension check (quiz) after every lecture. - Efforts in review of lectures (10 % in total) are evaluated by lecture notes and a summary sheet for the term-end examination submitted in 15th lecture. - Examination (70 %): The exam takes place at the end of the term. Questions are designed to assess the understanding of and the ability to explain the topics dealt in the lectures. |
Message from instructor(s) |
The topics in this course include basic concepts in chemistry. It is important to solve the exercises in the textbook repeatedly for in-depth understanding of the concepts and theories. |
