| Course contents : | the course is divided in 4 parts : 1- Basic notions, gas properties and chemical kinetics. 2- Chemical equilibria in gas phases and in aqueous solutions ; acid-base reactions, precipitation, complexation and oxydoreduction ; electrical aspects of the redox reactions : cells, electrolysis, batteries, electrolytes conductivity. 3- Introduction to the chemical bond and its correlations with the properties of the compounds. 4- Principles of the chemical thermodynamics, included the introduction to the theory of the real gases and electrolyte solutions. | |||||

| Course objective : | The course is designed to give to the students enough chemical knowledge to be able to understand the chemical aspects of a research project and also to teach chemistry in the secondary schools. The aim is also to enable the physicist to understand the chemist's language and to work in interdisciplinary research groups. Various practical examples of the concepts are stressed especially during the oral présentation so that chemistry can also be used to understand the environmental and technological aspects of our society. | |||||
| ||||||
| Prerequisites : | The current knowledge level of the secondary school is required. For the students who followed only one hour chemistry a week, it is necessary to work the basic concepts from the beginning in order to avoid the misunderstanding of the following lectures. Special explanation lectures are provided for the student who encounters too important difficulties in his study. | |||||
| ||||||
| Organization : | During the first quadrimestre, two courses of two hours are given each week while during the second period, only one course will be given. Lectures on numerical problems solving and laboratories are also organised in order to help the students to work with the theoretical notions. | |||||
| ||||||
| Written notes : | Lectures notes are availaible for the theoretical course, the exercices lectures and the pratical laboratories. They include all the necessary information to help the student in his work. Some bibliography is also supplied which allows to get more information on the different topics developped during the teaching period. | |||||
| ||||||
| Assessment : | - four interrogations are organised during the course of the exercices lectures. For the students who fail to obtain a mean quotation of 10, there will be a written examination on numerical problems resolution. -there will be no laboratory examination but the principles of the methods are part of the final theoretical examination. -A written examination is organised first during the january session on the first part of the course. But the student can also present his examination during the other two sessions. | |||||
