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:
- Criteria for equilibrium and spontaneous change
- Activity
- Equilibrium constant, law of mass action
- 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
Course sequence:
Flipped class for the course (files to learn at home or at school & e-course with video capsules)
and school sessions of explanations and exercices.
Prerequisites
Fundamental principles and auxiliary functions (enthalpy, Gibbs energy, entropy)
(Handouts and exercises available)
Test
Semester 7 - The exam is given in english only 
- If at school:
Session 1:
Intermediate control on Part1 depending on students' origin:
- PMP: mini-project for groups of 3-4 students (synthetic report on one of the experimental techniques used to acquire thermodynamics properties in the area of thermodynamics for biological science) (35%)
- PET: problem to be solved for groups of 3-4 students (35%)
Final exam: written exam 2h (authorized documents: one recto-verso A4 sheet of personal notes, calculator.) (65%)
Session 2:
written exam on Part 2, 2h (authorized documents: one recto-verso A4 sheet of personal notes, calculator.)
- In case of lock-down: remote examination:
