Aims
Building on the first semester modules, this will cover more complex organic molecules and their physical attributes and reactivity resulting from molecular structure - for example the way a molecule might dissolve in one solvent, but not in another. The idea of multiple-step reactions and interconversions of molecules are also covered, as an important factor in the industrial production and use of chemicals. Career and employability self-awareness will also be assessed.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Show how target molecules can be synthesised using multiple steps.
2.
Demonstrate simple relationships between molecular structure and physical properties.
3.
Relate the principles of kinetics and thermodynamics to simple organic reactions.
4.
Reflect upon their personal development during the completion of identified tasks, including their ability to work with others.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Functional groups and reactions in organic molecules. The use of thermodynamics and kinetics to describe the nature and process of chemical reactions and phase changes. The use of phase diagrams to describe phase changes.
Module Overview:
Building on first semester modules, this module will cover more complex organic molecules and their physical attributes and reactivity resulting from molecular structure for example, why does a molecule dissolve in one solvent, but not in another? You will develop your understanding of multiple-step reactions and interconversions of molecules, as this is an important factor in the industrial production and use of chemicals. In this module you will also be assessed on your employability self-awareness.

Additional Information:This second semester module will cover more complex organic molecules and their physical attributes and reactivity resulting from molecular structure - for example, why does a molecule dissolve in one solvent, but not in another? Can we predict this? How does Physical Chemistry help us to understand this? The idea of multiple-step reactions and interconversions of molecules will also be covered, as this is also an important factor in the industrial production and use of chemicals. Students will also use this module for their employability self-awareness assessment
