Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Prerequisites
FSAB 1301 (Chemistry 1) or a similar course
Main themes
The course is divided in three parts. The first part deals with 'generalities' required for a good understanding of the reactivity in organic chemistry, namely the reasons why organic compounds do or do not react in given conditions.
The second part describes the chemical behavior of the main organic compounds, illustrating the relationships between the structure of a given functional group and its reactivity. The lessons will be frequently illustrated with examples from other disciplines such as materials science and life sciences.
The third part consists in an introduction to the main separation techniques used in the chemical industry and to the oil refining industry in particular. It addresses the thermodynamics of phase equilibria (liquid-liquid and liquid-vapor) and describes some practical applications of these equilibria, such as liquid-liquid extraction or fractional distillation.
