Educational Aims
This module aimed to provide students with fundamental knowledge of organic chemistry and physical chemistry (chemical energetics, kinetics and equilibrium). Students will be given an oportunity to explore the structure-functionality relationship of organic compounds, the major classes of organic reactions, reaction energetics and reaction mechanisms. Students will also be exposed to chemical thermodynamics, reaction rate and rate law, chemical equilibrium, le Chatelier's principle and its industrial application. Lab practical plays an integral part in this module. Students will be learning lab techniques such as chemistry apparatus handling and performing organic reactions in a mentored and safe environment. Upon the completion of experiments students will need to write a formal lab report where the scientific format, technical content, data presentation and analysis will be assessed.Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module, students will be able to:
CLO1 - Describe and apply the principles and concepts of reactions and mechanisms in organic chemistry.
CLO2 - Explain and apply the principles of chemical dynamics involving energy and equilibrium.
CLO3 - Analyse and solve qualitative and quantitative problems in the physical chemistry.
