| Course contents : | 1. Revision of the basic concepts, gas properties and first principles of chemical kinetics. 2. Homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical equilibrium in gas phases and aqueous solutions ; acid-base reactions, precipitation and complexation reactions. 3. Electrical and chemical aspects of redox reactions : electrochemical cells, batteries, electrolysis process ; electrical conduction of electrolytes 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. | |||||
| ||||||
| Workshops : | The students have the opportunity to do some experimental work related to the theoretical lectures during 5 practical working sessions (5 * 4h). It gives the opportunity to undertake some simple chemical reactions and try to understand what is going on under the supervision of an assistant. | |||||
| ||||||
| Organization : | The whole course will be given during the first quadrimestre at the rate of two lectures a week. The experimental laboratories and the lectures on the problem solving are organized during the same period with some correlation with the theoretical lectures. Three written tests will be organized on problem solving on the following subjects : stoechimoetry and chemical kinetic, chemical equilibium, redox reactions. | |||||
| ||||||
| 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 : | - Two 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 at the period of june and september. It involves questions on the theory and applications on the subjects developped during the course. | |||||
