Special attention is given to equilibria involving acids, bases, precipitates, complex ions, and oxidizing and reducing agents. In the laboratory, an opportunity is provided for solving problems in gravimetric and volumetric analysis, along with an introduction to the use of instruments for chemical analysis. Every Fall, Every Spring. An introduction to the chemistry of carbon containing compounds. A systematic study of nomenclature, structure, properties, and reactions of aliphatic and aromatic compounds.
Attention is given to recent developments in interpretation of structure and reaction mechanisms.
Lecture, three hours per week. Chemistry 231L is a corequisite for Chemistry 231. Chemistry 231 and 231L are prerequisites for Chemistry 232. Chemistry 232L is a corequisite for Chemistry 232. The student then applies these methods to the synthesis, isolation, and purification of representative organic compounds.
