    Description
    This course provides a study of the properties and reactions of organic compounds such as alkenes, alkyl halides, alcohols and acids. Students perform qualitative experiments with acetylene, alkenes and various alcohols and work hands on with a melting point apparatus and refractometer. In addition, an introduction is provided on how to use a gas chromatograph and an infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR). Analyses of IR, NMR and MS spectra are also covered in this course.
