Course description
Physical chemistry is comprised of chemical thermodynamics, primarily concerned with macroscopic systems, and quantum chemistry, which focuses on microscopic systems. In this lecture, we will cover both "Chemical Thermodynamics" and "Introduction to Quantum Chemistry." By examining familiar phenomena as examples, students will gain an overview of the fundamental principles of chemical thermodynamics and quantum chemistry.
Expected Learning
【Chemical Thermodynamics】
(1) Understand the concepts of temperature, pressure, and volume, which determine the macroscopic state of matter. (2) Comprehend the changes in the state of matter that accompany variations in temperature, pressure, and volume. (3) Grasp the ideas of entropy and free energy through the various laws of thermodynamic properties.
【Quantum Chemistry】
(1) Be able to explain the dual nature of waves and particles. (2) Be capable of constructing Schrodinger's wave equation. (3) Describe the electron configuration in atoms and molecules.
Course schedule
The contents of each lecture are as follows:
The first through tenth lectures will cover "Chemical Thermodynamics," and the eleventh through fourteenth lectures will cover "Quantum Chemistry." In each lecture, students will be given exercises to enhance their understanding of the lecture content. A midterm report (on the first half of Chemical Thermodynamics) will be given in the 6th lecture.
1st: Equation of state of ideal gas and kinetics of gas molecules
2nd: Internal energy of molecules and velocity distribution of gas molecules
3rd: First law of thermodynamics 1: Thermodynamic processes and enthalpy
4th: First law of thermodynamics 2: Thermochemical equation
5th: Second law of thermodynamics 1: Entropy and Carnot cycle
6th: Second law of thermodynamics 2: Chemical equilibrium
7th: Phase transformation of pure substances: three states and phase diagram
8th: Phase equilibrium and free energy
9th: Mole fraction of solution and phase equilibrium
10th: Uniform properties and chemical potentials
11th: Early Period Quantum Theory
12th: Schrodinger's wave equation
13th: Quantum theory of atoms
14th: Quantum theory of molecules
15th: Summary (final exam)
Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this course. In addition to the 30 hours of class time, students are required to complete the standard number of hours for pre- and post-course study at the university.
Required Text(s) and Materials
Atkins, “Physical Chemistry”

Assessment/Grading
Evaluation will be based on the following three components:
(1) Exercises given during the lecture (15%)
(2) Mid-term report (20%)
(3) Final exam (65%)
Message from instructor(s)
Students are expected to prepare for the class using the DX platform. On the day of the class, there will be a brief review, and questions are welcomed. The class is designed to be interactive.
