The chemistry of carbon and its compounds is studied by looking into the structure, nomenclature, and reactivity of various functional groups. Particular emphasis is placed on the mechanism of organic reactions. The laboratory is an introduction to the techniques of organic chemistry. Five lectures and two laboratory periods per week. A continuation of CHM 220 with emphasis on more complex functional groups.
Laboratory emphasizes synthesis and functional group reactions.
Five lectures and two laboratory periods per week. Focuses on the study of wet chemical analyses. The use of chemical equilibrium principles is stressed in the study of reaction completeness and separations of chemical compounds produced in the analysis. Principles of electrochemistry are also introduced. Five lectures and two laboratory periods per week.
