General chemistry in APP

Description* :

This course gives biology students access to the tools of general chemistry.

Topics covered include:

• the properties of atoms and molecules, to understand the solubility of molecules, their structuring as liquids or solids, the stability of ionic forms, etc.
• energy exchanges in the life sciences, from the amount of energy involved in chemical reactions to predicting the direction of these reactions.

The program of this UE will be declined in :

• 2 tutorials of 3 hours each (counted as fieldwork because 1 teacher for 10 students)
• 2 TP of 3h (counted as TD because 1 teacher for 40 students)
• 1 Consolidation course (counted as a TD because 1 teacher for 40 students)

Provide the basic tools of physical chemistry needed in the life sciences.
