Organic chemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions and synthesis of natural or synthetic organic compounds which, by definition, contain carbon. This course provides an introduction to organic chemistry and lays the foundations for the basic concepts required by students pursuing scientific courses, particularly in chemistry, biology, biochemistry and health studies.

After a reminder of classical mechanics, we'll look at the fundamental quantities of thermodynamics: elementary and macroscopic work...
The heat/temperature distinction will be explained at length.
The notion of pressure will be explained macroscopically, but with a microscopic interpretation.
Then, with a historical approach, we'll show how Principles 1 and 2 came to be formulated.

From there, applications will be seen: cycles, perfect/real gas....

Thanks to the introduction of changes of state, examples (critical point) will be shown.
We will finish with thermics: essentially diffusion. Depending on the time available, we'll also cover radiation.

This is a cross-disciplinary practical course for students majoring in physics, mechanics or EEA in the L1 PCSI portal. This practical work will enable students to acquire fundamental concepts from the 3 disciplines (physics, mechanics, EEA), essential for further study in the chosen speciality or for a gateway between the other disciplines.
