Practical Organic Chemistry I, (Paperback)

The course is designed to give basic understanding and concepts of practical organic chemis-try. In this course students will learn to work with organic compounds by obtaining and identi-fying them, and transforming them. Furthermore, they will learn many separation and purifica-tion techniques such as filtration, recrystalization, distillation, chromatography and extraction. They will be acquainted with methods of identification of unknown simple organic molecules using physical means (such as melting point, boiling points and solubility determination) and simple chemical tests.
