Course Description

Chemistry is the science to study materials, and it is one of the sciences that a person dealing with substances must learn. For students who do not specialize in chemistry in the future, it is also impossible to avoid chemical substances and many substances obtained from them in real life.
As the follow-up course to Chemistry 1, learning topics for students taking Chemistry 2 will be acid and base, redox reaction, chemical reaction rate, and also the foundation of chemical thermodynamics. The lecture is planned to be in line with the text content while using OHC and board book in combination. In addition, although this class is mainly lecture type, we will shortly discuss questions on exercise problems or lecture contents within the lecture time.
In this lesson, you can acquire knowledge and ability on DP1, DP3, and DP4 of the Department of Mechanical Precision Systems Engineering.

Course Objectives

(1) By understanding the concept of acid and base, you can acquire knowledge about each property.
(2) By understanding the concepts of oxidation and reduction, you can acquire knowledge in applying them.
(3) You can master the fundamentals of thermodynamic thinking that is the foundation of every field.

Grading Policy

(1) Attendance confirmation is taken in each time, and students who do not attend more than 2/3 classes are not allowed to take the regular exam.
(2) The results of the mid-term exam and the regular exam will be 50% each, and they will be combined into the final evaluation.
(3) It is planned to answer and explain the exercises in the textbook and handouts, and also to confirm the degree of progress of understanding appropriately.
