Teaching Method

Outline:

Physical chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, and reactions of matter, and also plays an important role in organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and chemical engineering. Understand the basic concepts of kinetic theory of gases, chemical equilibrium, and chemical kinetics. In addition, understand structure determination of molecules and crystals using infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. It also enhances the development of students' ability to explain chemical knowledge and write logical scientific reports.

Style:

The course combines experiments and exercises. Lectures will also be given on some experimental topics.

Notice:

Bring a white lab coat, safety goggles, indoor shoes, a lab notebook, and a scientific calculator.
In principle, all experiments must be carried out to be graded. Experiment topics may be changed depending on circumstances, such as equipment failure.
If there is something you do not understand, you should study it using textbooks or specialized books available in the library before experimenting.
