Analysis of Organic Substances 

• conduct qualitative investigations to test for the presence in organic molecules of the following functional groups:

  • carbon–carbon double bonds

  • hydroxyl groups

  • carboxylic acids
    
    

• PINV - Chemical Detective

• investigate the processes used to analyse the structure of simple organic compounds addressed in the course, including but not limited to:

  • proton and carbon-13 NMR

  • mass spectroscopy

  • infrared spectroscopy

The focus here:

• • How does the machine work?

  • How are readings created?

  • What do the readings mean?
