| Holder(s) : | Pierre Colson | ||||||||

| Course contents : | Topics : general (I), structural (II) and organic (III) chemistry. Part I : Aggregation states of the matter, solution properties, pH, kinetics, chemical equilibria, thermodynamics, redox reactions and examples related to biomedical sciences. Part II : Atomic structure, chemical bondings and structural analysis Part III : General characteristics of organic compounds and their main reactions, polyfunctional derivatives, aromatic hydrocarbons and derivatives, synthetic polymers and biopolymers. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Course objective : | - Acquire the basic tools of chemistry and biochemistry - Check the basic knowledges - Check the reasoning ability, the learning and understanding of the topics (this aim is very important for all lectures of the cursus). The lecture is oriented towards the applications to life sciences as the aim of this lecture is to purchase to the students the basic tools in order to enable them to sense their use in the chemistry and biochemistry lectures. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Prerequisites : | Knowledge of some backgrounds of chemistry of the secondary level. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Workshops : | 5 laboratories of 4h are programmed to enable the students to apply and sense by themselves the practical involvements of the theoretical lecture. These laboratories consist of the applications of pH, titrations, kinetics, redox reactions and spectrophotometric measurements. One of the 5 laboratories is devoted to the identification of the functions in organic chemistry | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Organization : | The lecture is distributed among the first two quadrimesters but according an asymmetric way (45h at the 1st quadrimester and 15 h at the second one), i.e. two lectures of 1h45 every week at the 1st quadrimester and three lectures of 2h during the first two weeks of the second quadrimester (to enable that Dr. J.F. Liégeois rapidly begins with his organic chemistry lecture specific for pharmacists). | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Written notes : | Lecture notes : They are sold at the first lecture. They consit of two books entitled "La Chimie pour les Sciences de la Vie" (2003) : C. Houssier and P. Colson 1st part : Chimie générale et inorganique 2nd part : Structures atomiques et moléculaires 3rd part : Chimie organique The two last parts consist of the second book. Resumed tables and multiple choice questions with explained answers (+ eventually CD-Rom of interactive chemistry) are also available. Lecture notes will be available later at the secretariat (office 3/71, Chemistry Institute, B6c). Two books putting together the copies of the transparencies used during the lectures are also available. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Assessment : | The first problem examination wille be organized during the first quadrimester (at the beginning of December); the topics involved will be specified in due time. The first general examination is occurring during January and will cover the nine first chapters of the first book of the lecture (general and inorganic chemistry).It will consist of a multiple choice questions (20 questions with 5 choices , only one of which is right) quoted on 20, and open questions also quoted on 20. Numerical exercices can also appear in the open and multiple choice questions. A problem examination will also cover the exercises related to the first book. These examinations are optional and can give exemptions. The students who succeed (global average higher than or equal to 12/20 weighted with 1/3 for the exercises and 2/3 for the open and multiple choice questions) will be exempted from the first book and the quotation will take place for 30% in the general average (see later). All the students, who did not succeed in the examinations, will be informed individually (according to their request) about the quality of their examinations. For the students who failed these examinations, the results will not be taken into account and 20h of remediation will be organized during the second quadrimester. The examinations in June as well as in September will be only written ones. It will cover the two books, except for the students exempted from the first book. It will occur by the following way : multiple choice and open questions (1/2 day), exercises and written laboratory examination (1/2 day). Multiple choice questions will be divided into two parts : one about the first book(except for the exempted students) and another one about the second book (for all). The open questions will also cover the two books, or only the second one (for the exempted students). The written laboratory examination will enable to determine the global quotation of the laboratory, also taking into account the experimental work during the year. The final quotation for the non exempted students will be calculated by the following way : 25% for exercises + laboratories 45% for open questions 30% for multiple choice questions For the exempted students, 25% for exercises + laboratories 30% for the successful examination in January 30% for the open question about the second book 15% for the multiple choice questions about the second book | ||||||||
