During this time, the student will perform experiments in chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium and thermodynamics. Some experiments dealing with coordination and carbon compounds will also be performed. This course presents the fundamental concepts, theories, and reactions of carbon-containing compounds. The course emphasizes properties, structure-reactivity relationships, and mechanisms of the major classes of carbon compounds, emphasizing those found in living systems. This course examines the fundamental concepts of organic chemistry through experimentation.
Planned experiments demonstrate the chemistry of fundamental groups of organic molecules.
Proper chemistry laboratory technique and safety are stressed. This course is a continuation of Organic Chemistry I, presenting the fundamental concepts, theories, and reactions of carbon-containing compounds. This course emphasizes properties, structure-reactivating relationships, and mechanisms of the major classes of carbon compounds. Special consideration is given to carbon compounds found in living systems. In this continuation of the Organic Chemistry I Laboratory, the student will perform experiments to observe the mechanisms that govern organic chemistry reactions.
