This course is devised in conjunction with the lecture material nonmajors in organic chemistry. It provides students a profound understanding of subject-matter from laboratory work and familiarity with basic techniques. In addition to measurements of physical constants, the course is carried out in a functional approach: alkanes, alkenes alkyens, benzenes, organic halides, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and the deritatives of carboxylic acid, amines. Each experiment emphasizes the common chemical properties ascribed to functional groups.
