La Chimie.com
Émission 1 : La cinétique chimique
Une occasion de vous initier à la cinétique, l'étude de la vitesse des réactions chimiques. Certaines, comme les combustions, sont très rapides, voire explosives; d'autres, comme la décomposition dans le milieu naturel des matières plastiques, sont extrêmement lentes. La cinétique des réactions chimiques se retrouve partout : des cellules vivantes à l'aérospatiale.

Émission 2 : L'alcalinité
Cet épisode vous permettra d’explorer l'alcalinité qui est la capacité d'une eau à résister à des agressions acides ou basiques, favorisant ainsi le maintien de la vie. L'alcalinité d'une solution dépend de sa concentration en substances basiques. Ces bases réagissent avec les acides. En fait, l'alcalinité représente la somme des molécules capables de se lier à un acide pour le neutrali
