Description

Based on Lectures and tutorials face-to-face.

Thermodynamics is known to characterize a system macroscopically in terms of energy (and entropy). However, the microscopic nature of any system (known from quantum mechanics) imposes us to link the macroscopic view to the microscopic properties of the particles (atoms, molecules…) composing the system. The lectures and the tutorials will give tools using statistics to describe the state of a system, will focus on the different energy levels of atoms and molecules and how to use them, and will extend the description of the thermodynamic functions. Applications will be performed on simple chemical reactions. 9 hours of lectures and 7.5 hours of tutorials are dedicated to this course.
