Description
This course introduces electrochemistry, with a particular focus on redox. It complements the EU courses on chemical thermodynamics and kinetics, some of whose concepts will be used.
Objectives
The aim of this course is to provide a first approach to electrochemistry through the redox reaction, equilibrium thermodynamics and elements of electrochemical kinetics. Applications to everyday objects will serve as illustrations.
Necessary prerequisites
HAC302 Thermodynamics and kinetics
Recommended prerequisites :
- Thermodynamics of chemical equilibria
- Elements of electrostatics, electrokinetics
