| 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. 10 hours are devoted to thermodynamic under extreme conditions and to an introduction to spectroscopy (organised by Prof. B. Leyh). |
|
| Prerequisites : | Good knowledge of general chemistry (fisrt year) |
|
| Organization : | 30 hours of theory
15 hours of probelms solving
20 hours of practical work (laboratory)
upon request revisions at the end of the program
The 10 hours devoted to spectroscopy (B. Leyh) are organized during the second quadrimester. |
|
| Written notes : | Chimie générale II, , E . De Pauw
Physical Chemistry, P. Atkins,
Copies of the powerpoint slides of the spectroscopy course. |
|
| Assessment : | The final evaluation concerns all the parts of the course (theory, problems, laboratory)
An oral examination is organized for the spectroscopy part of the course. |
