Class Objectives /Class Outline	Chemistry is the science of matter and its transformations including reactions. This course deals with basic principles of physical chemistry. The course will cover two fields of physical chemistry: quantum chemistry and chemical thermodynamics. By learning quantum chemistry, you will see how to use it to describe the structures of atoms and molecules. By acquiring chemical thermodynamics, you will know heat transactions during chemical reactions and calculate equilibrium constants.
Class Schedule	Class on Tuesdays (Chemical thermodynamics, Okada) Lecture 1. The first law of thermodynamics (State of a system, and exothermic and endothermic reactions) Lecture 2. The first law of thermodynamics (Chemical and internal energies) Lecture 3. The first law of thermodynamics (Enthalpy and Hess's law) Lecture 4. The second and third laws of thermodynamics (Kelvin and Clausius statements and entropy) Lecture 5. The second and third laws of thermodynamics (Gibbs energy) Lecture 6. Chemical equilibria (Chemical potentials and extent of reaction) Lecture 7. Chemical equilibria (Thermodynamic condition for chemical equilibrium and equilibrium constants)    Class on Thursdays (Quantum chemistry, Muramatsu) Lecture 1. Introduction Lecture 2. Atomic structure: Bohr model Lecture 3. Basis of quantum theory: free particles in one-dimensional box Lecture 4. Hydrogen atom Lecture 5. General atoms Lecture 6. Formation of molecules Lecture 7. Light and molecules A single final exam is conducted at the end of the course.
Text/Reference Books,etc.	The textbook will often be used in the course. Auditors will need to purchase a printed version of the textbook on their own and bring it to the class. <Required textbook> F. Mafune and T.

Learning techniques to be incorporated
Suggestions on Preparation and Review	Read the relevant sections of the textbook when preparing for the class. Summarizing what you have studied helps you retain your knowledge.
Requirements	It is desirable that students learned high-school chemistry.
Grading Method	The course grade will be determined with the final exam. Short quizzes and/or exercises, if provided, will account for about 15 percent of the total score.
Practical Experience
Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it
Message	There are various substances and many types of chemical reactions around us. Physical chemistry is the branch of chemistry that explicitly models the common features behind the chemical phenomena and express the model as mathematical equations. Enhance your chemical insights through the course study.
Other	Short quizzes may sometimes be given in the class on the Moodle learning management system. You should bring your own laptop/tablet for accessing to the system. When the number of applicants exceeds the capacity of the course, a computerized random drawing may be held to select the students.
Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire which is carried out on all classes. Instructors will reflect on your feedback and utilize the information for improving their teaching.
