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 the course, students will master the theoretical aspects related to acid / base equilibrium, titrations , buffer solutions, the equilibria of sparingly soluble salts, solubility products and Redox systems
He/she will show scientific reasoning skills by solving exercises
He/she will develop basic analytical knowledge by conducting laboratory experiments
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
CHIM9268-1 General Chemistry
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
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.
