Topic outline

  • Generalities

    The goal of a course in solution chemistry is to help students understand the principles and phenomena related to solutions, including the concepts of homogeneous mixtures, solute, solvent, and solution. Students learn to differentiate between various types of solutions (solid, liquid, gaseous) and to calculate concentrations (molarity, molality, mass percentage, etc.). The course also explores the behavior of solutions, such as the dissolution of solids, liquids, or gases in a solvent, as well as the conductivity of electrolytes and non-electrolytes. Additionally, students are trained to analyze interactions in solutions (ion-dipole forces, Van der Waals forces), understand the factors influencing solubility (temperature, pressure, chemical nature), and apply solutions in practical contexts like titrations and chemical reactions in aqueous environments.
