Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The lecture aims at
- defining what are non-aqueous solvents and their classification based on their properties;
- remembering the basic concepts of interactions between the solvent and the solutes and their involvement in non-aqueous solvents;
- developping the thermodynamic concepts behind the solvation and how theses properties can be determined experimentally (including spectroscopic techniques);
- establishing the correlation between these properties in various non-aqueous solvents.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The concepts developed during the lecture will be exemplified by case studies from the literature, including exercices.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
The students are expected to have basic knowledge about chemical reactions and chemical thermodynamics as given in the lectures CHIM0739-1-Chimie physique et CHIM9288-1-Spectroscopie et élément de thermodynamique statistique.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The lecture will be divided in 5 lessons of 4 hours each, complemented by a personnal work treating a case study.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Blended learning
Additional information:
The learning activities are given preferentially face-to-face. However, an hybrid lecturing can be considered for students in mobility.
Recommended or required readings
The students will have access to the lecture supports and to lecture notes online on the e-Campus platform.
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
oral exam
- Remote
oral exam
Written work / report
Out-of-session test(s)
Additional information:
Students will be assessed on the basis of an online exam (MCQ) (50% of the final grade) covering all the concepts covered in the course, and an oral exam (50% of the final grade) covering one application of the transfer concepts. The discussion will be based on a written report (due 1 week before the oral exam) on a concrete case chosen by the student from a list of topics.
Work placement(s)
Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
The lessons will be given in English.
