/Class Outline
On the basis of the first and second laws of thermodynamics, which are learned already in the class, “Physical chemistry I”, the following terms are focused on in this class.     
1. Able to understand the basic terms and concepts associated with phase equilibrium of pure and mixed substances and explain them.
2. Able to derive basic formulae on phase equilibrium of pure and mixed substances and explain them
3. Able to calculate thermodynamic properties using basic formulae on the phase equilibrium.
4. Able to explain various types of the phase equilibrium and understand them fully.
5. Able to explain chemical equilibrium, equilibria response under various conditions, and electrode reactions with electrochemical potential.
