| Course contents : | In the second part of the course on general chemistry the physicochemical aspects are developped :
1- The nature of the chemical bond and its correlation with the chemical and physical properties of the matter.
2- The main topics of chemical thermodynamic included the case of the real gaz and solutions.
A brief introduction to organic chemistry is also proposed in close connexion with the concepts seen previously. Tthe course gives an overview from the problem of réactivity to the structure of the more complex biomolecules. |
|
| 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 to enable the physicists to understand the chemist's language and to work in interdisciplinary research teams.
Various practical examples of the concepts are stressed especially during the oral presentation so that chemistry can also be used to understand the environmental and technological aspects of our society. |
|
| Prerequisites : | To have a good knowledge of the subjects studied in the first part of the course. |
|
| Workshops : | 20 hours of laboratory work will be given on the following subjects :
-Conductometry
-Chemical kinetics
-Thermodynamic : heat of reaction
-Phase diagrams.
-Organic chemistry : synthesis and separation methods. |
|
| Organization : | The course will be organised during the first quadrimestre at the rate of two courses of two hours a week.
The laboratory works will be given during the same period of time ; some of them are related to subjects studied during the part I of this course.
Five lectures will be devoted to exercices in numerical problem solving with two written tests which can lead to exemption of the final problem exam. |
|
| Written notes : | Lectures notes are availaible for the theoretical course, exercices lectures and the laboratory works.
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.
The course and the transparencies used for the lecture are also available on CD. |
|
| Assessment : | The exams will be organised in the following way :
One exam on the problem solving for the students who has not obtained a quotation of 10 for each tests.
One oral examination on the theoretical part of the course. |
