UE's Learning outcomes

Understand the notion of chemical equilibrium and be able to apply it to the four main types of chemical reactions in aqueous solution (acid-base ; oxido-reduction, precipitation-dissolution, complexation) ; Understand the elemental basis of chemical reactions, with an overall understanding, and be able to make the connection with some daily natural or industrial applications ; understand how molecular dynamics acts upon the chemical reactions kinetics so as to be able to control it.
