Description:

Is a continuation of Introduction to Basic and Organic Chemistry. This course begins by covering solution chemistry, including theory of formation, as well as calculations involving concentration. It continues with coverage of nomenclature, bond theory, properties and reactions of a variety of classes of Organic Compounds, including Alkanes, Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Alkenes, Alkynes, Haloalkanes, Alcohols, Phenols, Ethers, Aldehydes, Ketones, Carbohydrates, Carboxylic Acids, Esters, Amines, and Amides. The final portion of the class relates Biochemistry to Organic Chemistry by covering properties and functions of Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids. Organic Laboratory Techniques, such as Simple, Vacuum, and Fractional Distillations, Reflux Reactions, Extractions, and Chromatography are emphasized in the laboratory portion of the course. The students will also perform tests for functional groups, synthesis reactions, purification of a substance by recrystallization, and Silver Deposition of Glassware in the laboratory portion of this class. The students will use macroscale and microscale techniques to become familiar with the specific demands of the glassware for these two types of situations. Prerequisite: CHM 130 Offered: Spring
