Aims
The focus of this course is to enable students to systematically describe the basic principles, basic concepts and basic theories of quantitative analytical and organic chemistry, and on this basis to explain the methods and principles of determining the content of related components. Students will learn basic analytical methods, understand the development process, characteristics of quantitative analytical chemistry, and their connections with other disciplines. In addition, theoretical knowledge and practice will be closely linked to the skills and techniques for scientific experiments. Students will learn to identify the composition, structure, properties, synthesis, mutual transformation methods and related theoretical knowledge of organic compounds. Through the study of this course, students should master the basic knowledge and basic theory of organic chemistry, understand the latest achievements and development trends of the subject, and lay a solid foundation for studying follow-up professional courses, continuing education and engaging in related teaching, scientific research, and production in the future. Students will also master the basic operation skills of organic chemistry experiments.
