Use the basic principles of equilibrium thermodynamics to predict whether a reaction is possible, in which direction it is spontaneous and determine the proportions of reactants at equilibrium from the equilibrium constant. Application to homogeneous and heterogeneous equilibria, and to the special case of precipitation reactions.(acid-base and redox reactions, time permitting). Hours: 19.5 h.

In the second part, we'll look at kinetics and reaction rates. Only simple reaction orders will be studied this year. Hours: 7.5 h .

The first part of the module will present a general overview of materials: states of matter - chemical bonds - quantities associated with material properties (resistivity, transmittance, viscosity, Young's modulus, etc.). The concepts covered will be illustrated using polymeric and inorganic materials.

Then, in a flipped classroom, students will discover different materials through applications (varnish, paint, energy recovery, pollution control, etc.).

This is a basic module on the physical properties of materials and on techniques for dimensioning mechanically simple components or systems.

Material properties are covered using tensile testing, binary diagrams and microstructure.

Component dimensioning involves selecting the most suitable material and defining the geometry to ensure static and fatigue strength. Dimensional analysis can also be used to determine the characteristics of a more complex system, based on experiments carried out on a scale model.

 The "Color Measurement" UE is an introduction to colorimetry. It provides an understanding of how colors are perceived and classified in the various colorimetric systems currently in use. The course begins with a brief historical introduction tracing the most significant stages in the construction of colorimetry, followed by a chapter giving some notions of the "neuro-physiology" of vision, describing how the eye and retina function. This is followed by a chapter on photometry, introducing the quantities essential to colorimetry, in particular spectral luminance, and then a study of colorimetric systems such as RGB, XYZ or L*a*b*. The emphasis in these first chapters is on additive color synthesis, which enables colors to be produced on screens (computer, TV, telephones, etc.). The course continues with an introduction to spectro-colorimetry, which enables us to understand the properties of color mixtures (subtractive synthesis) through its simplest models (Beer-Lambert, Kubelka-Munk, etc.). The course is illustrated by a number of hands-on exercises that familiarize students with the various colorimetric systems, their advantages and disadvantages. It is also supported by practical exercises that enable students to master color measurement devices (colorimeters, spectro-colorimeters) and associated software. A major part of the practical exercises is devoted to comparing color observations and measurements.

The organic chemistry module in S4 in L2 focuses on the electronic, acid-base properties and reactivity of aromatic compounds of benzene, phenol and aniline derivatives. In particular, the reaction mechanisms involved in nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution reactions in aromatic chemistry will be covered. This course builds on the basic knowledge acquired in L1 and the first semester of L2.

Chemistry is an experimental science. The aim of this practical module is to use experiments to illustrate a number of theoretical concepts covered in the BSc Chemistry course (L2 and early S5 in particular), in a way that complements the other experimental chemistry modules offered in L1 and L2 Chemistry.

The first part of this course presents the basics of quantum chemistry for chemists and physical chemists. He began by taking up the principles of quantum mechanics and his master equation, the Schrödinger equation. The solution of the Schrödinger equation in simple cases and the notions of wave functions and quantization are presented and illustrated in simple cases. The hydrogen atom is then studied.

The teaching also focuses on approximation methods that make it possible to determine the properties of complex systems where the Schrödinger equation cannot be solved directly. The effect of spin on the electronic properties of atoms and molecules will also be discussed.

The second part of this course focuses on the quantum description of molecular properties and reactivity. The qualitative construction of molecular orbitals using symmetry properties will be introduced and the link between molecular orbital diagram and chemical bonding is made. The link between molecular geometry and electronic structure will be discussed. This course will then focus on the Huckel method which allows to obtain diagrams of molecular orbitals of π systems. The classical notions of conjugation, delocalization, donor or acceptor character and aromaticity will be studied in this approach. The theory of boundary orbitals is used to rationalize molecular reactivity (cycloaddition, electrocyclization) and molecular geometries.
