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, Hideo Watanabe (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

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)
“Atkins’ PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY” (10th Edition), P. Atkins and J. De Paula (Oxford University Press)
Assessment/Grading
- Efforts in lectures (~30 % in total) are accessed by means of comprehension check (quiz) and reflection paper after every lecture, and short-repots (twice for the term).
- Examination (~70 %) take place at the end of the term in order to assess the understanding of 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.
