Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Chapter 1. General concepts. Definition of the notion of chemical equilibrium and equilibrium constants. Thermodynamic and kinetic approach. Notion of reversibility and irreversibility.
Chapter 2: Notions of acids and bases. Associated equilibria. Notion of pH.
Chapter 3: Equilibria in aqueous solutions. Solubility products, precipitation, complexation.
Chapter 4: Electrochemistry. Oxidation and reduction. Cells and batteries. Corrosion.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of this course, the students will have achieved a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical principles underlying acid-base equilibria, titration methods, buffer solutions, the solubility equilibria of sparingly soluble salts and the solubility product, as well as redox systems.
They will have demonstrated scientific reasoning skills through the resolution of problem-based exercises and will have developed essential analytical proficiency by carrying out practical laboratory work.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
CHIM9268-1: Chemistry - from atom to molecule
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Theoritical lectures
Problem solving sessions
Introductory sessions laboratories
Practical work in the laboratory
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Additional information:
Theoretical sessions, exercises and practical work are given in a face-to-face mode.
There are no dispensations for students. Repeating students must therefore perform the laboratory sessions again.
Attendance to ALL lab sessions is mandatory
Course materials and recommended or required readings
Theoritical course, exercises and laboratory notes (also available on e-campus-Blackboard Platefrom)
Reference books :
Principes de Chimie, Atkins, Ed. De Boeck (en Français) (available at the library)
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
Out-of-session test(s)
Additional information:
A unique written exam integrating theory and exercises is scheduled in June (and in the second session).
The laboratories are evaluated by an entrance test and a personal report.
The laboratory grade acquired during the year remains valid for the second session.
The distribution of grades is as follows: Theory (40%) - Exercises (40%) - Practical work (20%)
Work placement(s)
No training
Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
Attendance at ALL lab sessions is mandatory.
