| •Course Purpose |
| The purpose of this course is to grasp the physical basis of the interactions between particles and of the behavior and
properties of matter. The course begins with perfect gas law, proceeds to thermodynamics, and finishes with applications of thermodynamics to simple mixtures. By the end of this course, students should be equipped with knowledge and skills concerning the following: 1) Understand and describe the properties of gases. 2) Understand three laws of thermodynamics. 3) Apply the laws of thermodynamics in chemistry: describe physical and chemical equilibria. |

| •Grade Assessment |
| Students will be evaluated based on one midterm exam (25% weight), one final exam (comprehensive, 45%
weight), and homework (30% weight). Homework will be given at the end of each class. Homework must be submitted before the next class starts. The penalty for homework submitted late should be 10% of the maximum mark per day late. Both midterm and final exams will be written. Grade evaluation will be according to the GPA System at Nagoya University. Students who enrolled AY2020 and onward: "A+": 100-95%, "A": 95-80%, "B": 80-70%, "C": 70-65%, "C-": 65-69%, "F": 60-0%. Students who enrolled before AY2020: "S": 100-90%, "A": 90-80%, "B": 80-70%, "C": 70-60%, "F": 60-0%. To receive a passing grade, a score of at least 60% is required. The course will be graded "Fail (F)" if less than 60% of the points are obtained. The course will be graded as "Absent (W)" as stated in "Conditions for Course Withdrawal". |
