CHIM0274-2  
General Chemistry II, including organic Chemistry
Duration :
40h Th, 20h Labo., 10h QA Sess.
Number of credits :
Bachelor in physics7
Lecturer :
Bénédicte Vertruyen
Language(s) of instruction :
French language
Organisation and examination :
Teaching in the second semester
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Course contents :
This second part of the general chemistry course is devoted to three main topics: - chemical thermodynamics - atoms and bonding - introduction to organic chemistry The table of contents is available on request (email to b.vertruyen.at.ulg.ac.be).
Learning outcomes of the course :
In addition to the usual "knowledge-based" objectives, the course aims at developping more general skills, such as : analysis of graphics, problem solving, assessment of the validity of a theory,...
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
- General chemistry course (1st year Bachelor)
- Modern physics / partim Quantum physics (1st quadrimester of 2nd year Bachelor)
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
Lectures, exercice sessions and practical sessions. Attendance to the 5 practical sessions (4 h each) is compulsory. Students are required to wear lab coats and safety glasses.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
Face-to-face
Recommended or required readings :
- Lecture notes : a copy of the slides is available (paper or pdf files). Please note that in order to promote attendance to lectures, some derivations, complements, or examples are not included in the slides.   - Lab and exercise notes are available and can usually be bought on an agreed date, just before a lecture.
- Lists of equations are provided (one for the exercice sessions/tests, the other for the theory exam).
Assessment methods and criteria :
- practical work : 10 % - exercise test/exam : 20 % (students having obtained a mark of minimum 10/20 for the test organized during the 2nd quadrimester are exempted from the exercise exam) - theory : 70 %
Work placement(s) :
Organizational remarks :
Lectures (2x2h/week) , exercise sessions (5x2h) and practicals sessions (5x4h) will take place during the 2nd quadrimester (February - May). A written test on thermodynamics exercises will be organised during the 2nd quadrimester.
