The course aims at provide students with theoretical and laboratory knowledge in the areas of thermodynamics (calorimetry), of ion transport (conductimetry) and electrochemistry.

The necessary arguments to deal with later laboratory experiments are first introduced at the theoretical level. The focus is on calorimetric techniques (at equilibrium and scanning), on the theory of ion transport (strong and weak electrolytes, transport number, Einstein, Nernst-Einstein, Stokes-Einstein equations), on electrochemical systems (coefficient of activity, galvanic and electrolytic cells, Nernst equation, the Nernst scale of the electrochemical potentials). The second part of the course will consist of laboratory experiments of conductimetry and electrochemistry, followed by an experiment carried out in the research laboratories of the Section of Chemical Physics, in contact with young researchers on topics related to the issues covered in the course ("field experience").
