General Chemistry in APP

Description:

This course unit provides biology students with access to general chemistry tools.

The following topics will be covered:

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

The program for this EU will consist of:

• 2 three-hour tutoring sessions (counted as fieldwork because there is one teacher for every ten students)
• 2 three-hour practical sessions (counted as tutorials because there is one teacher for every 40 students)
• 1 Consolidation course (counted as a tutorial because there is one instructor for every 40 students)

Provide the basic tools of physical chemistry necessary for the life sciences.
