Learning Outcome Description |
LO1 |
Draw the structures and shapes of the main types of organic chemicals |
LO2 |
Draw the reaction mechanisms of some of the main reactions in organic and synthetic organic chemistry. |
LO3 |
List, describe and explain the tests used to identify unknown organic chemicals. |
LO4 |
Discuss and explain kinetic theory (the order and rate of reaction, the activation energy of reaction and the half -life of a reaction) and carry out relevant mathematical calculations based on reaction rate data. |
LO5 |
Perform and interpret designated laboratory exercises with due regard to safety and best practice. |
