Transfers ToUC and CSUCal-GETC Area 5C · IGETC Area 5C · IGETC Area 5A · CSU GE Area B3DescriptionThis laboratory course is designed to illustrate the principles presented in the first semester of organic chemistry. Emphasis is placed on the determination of physical properties and the separation, purification and identification of organic compounds. This course acquaints students with the equipment, glassware, techniques and safe practices specific to the organic chemistry laboratory. Techniques, such as measurement of physical constants, recrystallization, extraction, distillation and chromatography are used in the synthesis and/or characterization of selected classes of organic compounds, such as alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alkyl halides, and alcohols. The organic chemistry literature and spectral interpretation using techniques, such as infrared and nuclear spectroscopies, are introduced to support the above topics. This course is designed for students pursuing a degree in the chemical sciences or training in chemical technology, as well as other transfer students who need organic chemistry as part of preparation for majors, such as molecular biology, premedical, predental, and pharmacy.Usually HeldTue Thu 9:35am–12:40pm, Fri 11:40am–3:00pm, Tue Thu 1:35pm–4:45pm, Tue Thu 9:35am–11:00am
