Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)
- Use logical and critical analysis to interpret data produced from NMR and infrared spectroscopy.
- Conduct and interpret organic chemistry experiments using the common techniques of organic chemistry, including melting points, recrystallization, distillation, extraction, chromatography, refractometry, and infrared spectroscopy.
- Explain the theoretical basis and applications of common techniques in organic chemistry including melting points, recrystallization, distillation, extraction, chromatography, and NMR and infrared spectroscopy.
- Describe observations and results of organic chemistry procedures in a laboratory notebook and use the principles of spectroscopy to identify organic compounds.
Course Objectives
