Aims

This course will focus on simple organic and inorganic synthesis. It will also build on the areas covered in Practical Labs 1, applying isolation and analytical techniques to the products obtained from the contained chemical syntheses/conversions.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Synthesise simple organic molecules.
2.
Synthesise simple inorganic compounds.
3.
Assay simple organic and inorganic compounds using Physical and Analytical Chemistry.
4.
Select and use functional group tests in order to distinguish between chemical samples.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Functional group chemistry and reactions; aromatic chemistry; simple polymer synthesis; determination of kinetic and thermodynamic properties; basic chemistry of inorganic compounds.
Module Overview:
In this module you will be introduced to laboratory synthesis and testing in the areas of Organic, Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry. As with the other Level 4 practical modules, this module underpins the material aspect of the course. You will focus on simple organic and inorganic synthesis alongside applying isolation and analytical techniques to the products obtained from contained chemical syntheses, as introduced in Practical Labs 1.
Additional Information:The course provides an introduction to laboratory synthesis and testing in the areas of Organic, Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry. As with the other level four practical module, this also introduces and underpins the materials aspect of the course.
