Thermodynamics - 4PMBECB1

Goal(s)

Understanding and mastering of thermodynamics as a basis for stability studies and evolution conditions of physical and chemical systems.
Calculation of thermal balances (quantification of heat exchange for a reaction) in
association with a chemical process.
Study of equilibrium: forecast of equilibrium composition for a reactive mixture.
Prediction of the evolution of the system and determination of conditions for chemical
transformations.
Concepts applications to examples and phenomena of biological interest.

Content(s)

Part 1: Chemical thermodynamics / chemical equilibrium
Thermochemistry:

• Partial molar quantities
• Quantities of reaction
  Chemical equilibrium:

• Principles of coupled reactions

Part 2: The behavior of solutions

• Non electrolyte / electrolyte solutions
• Colligative properties
• Biological membranes
• Solvent movement, solute movement, passive/active transport
