Chemistry 2

Part A

This A part of the second course aims at pursuing presenting general chemistry in relation with the different fields of engineering.
It covers the following topics:

• Ionic and solubility equilibria
• Redox equilibria - Electrochemistry

Part B

This B part of the second course aims to continue the presentation of the basics of chemistry and to establish the link with the fields of engineering.
It includes the following chapters:

• Rate of chemical reactions
• Chemical bonds and materials
• Organic chemistry and polymers

Part A

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• understand general chemistry theoretical concepts;
• use those concepts to solve problems;
• apply those concepts to explain experimental observations and results;
• conduct experiments in team correctly and analyze results.

Part B

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• understand general chemistry theoretical concepts;
• use those concepts to solve problems;
• apply those concepts to explain experimental observations and results;
• conduct experiments in team correctly and analyze results.

Part A

Basic notions of mathematics, physics and chemistry from secondary school.
Course CHIM9272-2 - Chemistry 1

Part B

Basic notions of mathematics, physics and chemistry from secondary school.
Course CHIM9272-2 - Chemistry 1

Part A

The course is composed of theory sessions, interactive exercises sessions and laboratories sessions. Those sessions are complementary.
Theory sessions introduce new concepts which are illustrated with numerous examples of chemistry practical applications.
The objective of the exercise sessions is to help students acquire mastery of the subject matter through problem solving. Different types of activities are proposed during these sessions: the resolution on the board of exercises proposed to the students in advance via eCampus, the resolution on the board of new exercises and the resolution of problems by the students themselves with the help of the supervisors.
Laboratories sessions aim at helping students to understand theoretical notions through experimental manipulations that illustrate, at the scale of a laboratory for students, industrial applications.
At the end of the semester, a questions and answers session is organized. It brings an additional opportunity for students to asks all useful questions related to theory and exercises.

If the health situation requires it, the course is given remotely via the eCampus platform where all the necessary information is available.
Podcasts of the theory classes and workout sessions are loaded progressively each week so that they can be followed according to the schedule.
To facilitate the structure of the study, a dashboard indicates which podcasts are to be viewed each week.
Live explanations and question and answer sessions on Collaborate are organized each week in the course time slot and at different times for theory and exercises. The entire teaching team participates so that all questions can be answered individually.
Parallel to these sessions, the forum is permanently open to allow students to ask their questions at any time.
Projects and questions are maintained and organized via eCampus.
Laboratory sessions are cancelled if necessary depending on the epidemic.
If the health situation requires it, exams are organized remotely via eCampus.

Part A

Notes and slides related to lectures, exercises and laboratories sessions are distributed by the AEES students organization. They are also available on eCampus.

Part A

Any session :

- In-person

written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )

- Remote

written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )

- If evaluation in "hybrid"

preferred remote


Additional information:

At the end of March, a session is held combining the submission of a project, the realization of a laboratory and an MCQ type test. One week before the session, a project will be proposed on eCampus: it will consist in solving more complex problems and performing all the necessary calculations prior to the realization of the laboratory. The laboratory will consist in performing short manipulations to acquire the necessary experimental information. The March test will focus on the material of chapters 5 and 6 (Ion and solubility equilibria; Oxidation-reduction equilibria - Electrochemistry). This session (project/lab/test) will account for 15% of the final grade. It is mandatory to have access to the final exam.
A written final exam is organized in May/June and accounts for 70% of the overall mark for students following the long version (parts A and B : chapters 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9) of the Chemistry 2 course and having two evaluation sessions, and for 85% of the overall mark for students following the short version (part A : chapters 5 and 6) of the Chemistry 2 course and having only one evaluation session. In case of failure, a single written exam for 100% of the global score is organized in August/September. During the exams, emphasis is placed on problem solving and understanding of concepts.
Depending on the health situation, the exams could be organized remotely. See section "Organizational adaptations related to the health context".

Additional information:

At the end of April/beginning of May, a session is held combining the submission of a project, the realization of a laboratory and an MCQ type test. One week before the session, a project will be proposed on eCampus: it will consist in the resolution of more complex problems and the realization of all the necessary calculations before the realization of the laboratory. The laboratory will consist in performing short manipulations to acquire the necessary experimental information. The April/May test will focus on chapters 7 and 8 (Rate of chemical reactions; Chemical bonds and materials). This session (project/labo/interrogation) will account for 15% of the final grade. It is mandatory to have access to the final exam.
A written final exam is organized in May/June and intervenes for 70% of the global mark for the students following the long version (parts A and B : chapters 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9) of the Chemistry 2 course and thus having 2 evaluation sessions. In case of failure, a single written exam is organized in August/September and accounts for 100% of the global grade. During the exams, emphasis is placed on problem solving and understanding of concepts.
Depending on the health situation, the exams could be organized remotely. See section "Organizational adaptations related to the health context".

Part A

Second quadrimestre.
Theory lessons as well as exercises sessions are organized in an amphitheatre with the whole group of students.
During exercises sessions, students let rows free between them to allow instructors go around and help students individually to solve problems (cf.section "Planned learning activities and teaching methods").
Laboratories sessions are organized with small groups of 20 to 25 students.
