DMK20052 CHEMISTRY LABORATORY

CHEMISTRY LABORATORY is an introductory course to the application of laboratory techniques in organic chemistry. These techniques include the purification and quantification of an organic compound, the determination of the physical properties of some common organic compounds and the chemical properties of organic compounds such as aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic compound and its derivatives, hydroxyl compounds, carbonyl compounds, carboxylic compounds, esters and alkylhalides. Emphasis is placed on analytical techniques that aid the understanding of the differences between the physical and chemical properties of alkanes, alkenes and other organic compounds as well as inculcate the importance of minimizing wastage and pollution to the environment.
