A continued survey of the mechanisms and reactions of organic molecules focusing on aromatic and carbonyl compounds, and the application of organic reactions toward organic synthesis. An exploration of the basic thermodynamic and kinetic principles that govern the outcome of all chemical reactions and physical processes. Primary emphasis is placed upon macroscopic chemical thermodynamics with applications to solutions, colligative properties and phase equilibria. An introduction to the relationship between the physical properties and composition of chemical systems. Both the use of electronic instruments and the interpretation of their output are stressed.
Primary emphasis is placed on quantitative analysis.
Laboratory projects requiring an integration of skills in analysis, synthesis and experimental design, applied to problems in inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. Intended to prepare students for independent investigation of chemical problems. The reactions of compounds in living systems. The microscopic or molecular basis for chemistry. Extension and expansion of concepts developed in Chem.
