||||||||||||||
| Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program | ||||||||||||||
|
Course contents :
|
||||||||||||||
| The course consists in a study of chemical kinetics:
- phenomenological kinetic laws - experimental methods - multi-step reactions, steady state, reaction mechanisms - heterogeneous catalysis |
||||||||||||||
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
||||||||||||||
| At the end of the course, the students are expected to be able to use the basic physico-chemical tools necessary to account for the dynamical processes leading to equilibrium. | ||||||||||||||
|
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
|
||||||||||||||
| Knowledge of the basic concepts of mathematics (functions, derivatives, integrals, simple differential equations), physics and general chemistry, taught in the first two years of chemistry studies at ULg, is required. | ||||||||||||||
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
||||||||||||||
| Two-hour lectures favouring the active participation of the students.
Interactive exercise classes focussed on numerical applications which aim at deepening the understanding of the essential concepts of the course. |
