| Course objective :
| In the second course on general chemistry ( General Chemistry II), the topics introduced during the first course (General Chemistry I) are described in details to open the way to the generalisation of physico-chemical concepts and their applications.
The topics of the course are grouped in 5 chapters.
Chapter 1 is intended to give solid basis in classical thermodynamics starting from an extended introduction to its microscopic description. These concepts are applied to equilibrium situations in chapter 2. Thermodynamic and kinectic aspects of electrochemistry are presented in chapter 3. Systems, in irreversible evolution close to equilibrium are described in chapter 4. Practical aspects of surface physical chemistry are the core of chapter 5. A chapter on group theory is organised Dr. Raty, research associate at the FNRS. | |
