이 연구의 목적은 과학고등학교 학생들을 대상으로 설문지 조사와 면담을 통해 화학 전지에 대한 개념 이해를 분자적 수준의 미시적 관점에서 화학 평형과 연계하여 분석하는 것이다. 과학고등학교 학생들은 전극을 전해질에 담그자마자 전극의 금속이 산화되는 반응과 금속 이온이 환원되는 반응이 동시에 일어난다는 것과 화학 전지의 화학 평형 상태를 고르는 것에 대한 이해는 높았다. 그러나 전극과 전해질 사이에서 일어나는 상호작용을 미시적 관점으로 이해하는 데는 어려움을 겪고 있어, 화학 전지에서의 전위차 발생, 전자의 흐름, 반쪽 전지의 전위 측정, 산화전극과 환원전극 사이의 전지 전위값 계산하기 등에서는 어려움을 겪었다.

Aromatic L-amino acid transaminase is an enzyme that is able to transfer the amino group from L-glutamate to unnatural aromatic ${\alpha}-keto$ acids to generate ${\alpha}-ketoglutarate$ and unnatural aromatic L-amino acids, respectively. Enrichment culture was used to isolate thermophilic Bacillus sp. T30 expressing this enzyme for use in the synthesis of unnatural L-amino acids. The asymmetric syntheses of L-homophenylalanine and L-phenylglycine resulted in conversion yields of >95% and >93% from 150 mM 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate and phenylglyoxylate, respectively, using L-glutamate as an amino donor at $60^{\circ}C$. Synthesized L-homophenylalanine and L-phenylglycine were optically pure (>99% enantiomeric excess) and continuously pre-cipitated in the reaction solution due to their low solubility at the given reaction pH. While the solubility of the ${\alpha}-keto$ acid substrates is dependent on temperature, the solubility of the unnatural L-amino acid products is dependent on the reaction pH. As the solubility difference between substrate and product at the given reaction pH is therefore larger at higher temperature, the thermophilic transaminase was successfully used to shift the reaction equilibrium toward rapid product formation.

The entropy production in a non-equilibrium state based on the reversible Oregonator model of the Belousov-Zhabotinskii (BZ) reaction system has been studied. The reaction affinity and the reaction rate for the individual steps have been calculated by varying the concentrations of key variables in the system. The result shows a linear relationship between the reaction affinity and the reaction rate in the given concentration range. However, the overall entropy calculated on the basic assumption that the entropy in a reaction system corresponds to the summation of a product of reaction affinity and reaction rate of individual steps shows a nonlinearity of the reaction system. The results well agrees with the fact that the entropy production is not linear or complicated function in a non-linear reaction system.

Methane steam reforming (MSR) reaction for hydrogen production was studied in a membrane reactor (MR) using two tubular membranes, one Pd-based and one of porous alumina. A higher methane conversion than the thermodynamic equilibrium for a traditional reactor (TR) was achieved using MRs. The experimental temperature range was 350-500$^{\circ}C$; no sweep-gas was employed during reaction tests to avoid its back-permeation through the membrane and the steam/methane molar feed ratio (m) varied in the range 3.5-5.9. The best results (the difference between the MR conversion and the thermodynamic equilibrium was of about 7%) were achieved with the alumina membrane, working with the highest steam/methane ratio and at 450$^{\circ}C$. Silica membranes prepared at KRICT laboratories were characterized with permeation tests on single gases (N$_2$, H$_2$ and CH$_4$). These membranes are suited for H$_2$ separation at high temperature.

Solvent extraction reaction of cobalt by Alamine336 from strong hydrochloric acid solution was identified by analyzing the solvent extraction data reported in the literature. Analysis of the data by graphical method revealed that Alamine336 took part in the solvent extraction reaction as a monomer in the concentration ranges, [Co(II)] : 0.0169 - 0.102 M, [Alamine336] ; 0.02- 1.75 M, and [HCl ] : 5 - 10 M. The following solvent extraction reaction and equilibrium constant was obtained from the experimental data by considering the activity coefficients of chemical species present in the aqueous phase. $Co^{2+}+2Cl^{-}+R_3NHCl_{org}=CoCl_3\;R_3NH_{org}$, $K_{ex}=2.21$ The distribution coefficients of cobalt predicted in this study agreed well with those reported in the literature.

A pressure effect of the dehydrogenation of ethylalcohol catalyzed by alcoholdehydrogenase was observed in Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.8 from $25^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$ under high pressure system by using our new theory. The theory makes it possible for us to obtain all rate and equilibrium constants for each step of all enzymatic reaction with a single intermediate. We had enthalpy and volume profiles of the dehydrogenation to suggest a detail and reasonable mechanism of the reaction. In these profiles, both enthalpy and entropy of the reaction are positive and their values decrease with enhancing pressure. It means that the first step is endothermic reaction, and its strength decrease with elevating pressure. At the same time, all activation entropies have large negative values, which prove that not only a ternary complex has a more ordered structure at transition state, but also water molecules make a iceberg close by the activated complex. In addition to this fact, the first and second step equilibrium states are controlled by enthalpy. The first step kinetic state is controlled by enthalpy but the second step kinetic state is controlled by entropy.

The mechanism of the photodecomposition of 2-methoxy-1,2-diphenyl diazoethane has been investigated in methanol and isoprene using time-resolved laser flash photolysis techniques. The reaction of triplet carbene which is generated from 2-methoxy-1,2-diphenyl diazoethane with methanol is believed to proceed via thermal excitation to the singlet state. The activation energy and enthalpy are consistent with a mechanism involving thermal equilibrium between the triplet and singlet state followed by the reaction of the singlet with methanol to give ether.

Steam reforming reaction of natural gas is an important process for fuelcell commercialization. In this paper, steam reforming reaction is studied by numerical method. Pseudo-homogeneous model is incorporated for chemical reactions and one medium approach is used to take into account thermally equilibrium phenomena between catalyst and bulk gas. The model is validated with our experimental results under the same operating conditions. Because performance of reformer has relation to heat flux from wall, heat flux profiles was investigated by using Nusselt number. Value of Nusselt number in steam reformer is larger than one in channel, which does not have chemical reaction because steam reforming reaction is an endothermic reaction. When the difference of Nusselt number at the front and the rear is larger, performance is improved.

The in vitro glycosylation of pentapeptide (Arg-Lys-Asp-Val-Tyr; RKDVY) and RNase A was carried out using PNGase F (peptide-N-glycosidase F), and the results were analyzed using MALDI-TOF-MS. Aminated N,N-diretyl chitobiose was used as the sugar in the glycosylation reaction, and the amination yield of N,N'-diacetyl chitobiose was about $60\%$. To reduce the water activity and shift the reaction equilibrium to a reverse reaction, 1,4-dioxane or ethylene glycol was used as the organic solvent in the enzymatic glycosylation. A certain extent of nonenzymatic glycosylaton, known as the Maillard reaction, was also observed, which occurs on an arginine or lysine residue when the length of tie sugar residue is one or two. However, the extent of glycosylation was much higher in the enzymatic reaction, indicating that PNGase F can be effectively used to produce glycopeptides and glycoproteins in vitro.
