Description

123.101 Chemistry and Living Systems (15 credits) This course takes a wide range of examples from everyday life to illustrate concepts of organic and biological chemistry. The structure, properties and reactions of organic compounds, identification of organic compounds using spectroscopy, and the mechanisms of organic reactions are covered. It also introduces the concepts of chemical equilibrium, particularly as they are applied to acids and base, and chemical kinetics.

Learning outcomes Students who successfully complete this course should be able to: 1. Describe common organic compounds including biologically important molecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats and other natural products and commercially important groups of materials such as polymers, detergents, fuels, dyes, and fragrances will also be considered. 2. Interpret the name or formula of an organic compound in terms of the functional groups present in the molecule, its stereochemistry including dynamic structure, and electronic properties. 3. Explain and carry out the process of characterizing simple organic compounds using spectroscopic methods including NMR and IR spectroscopy. 4. Associate typical chemical reactivity with different functional groups and write equations for the reactions. 5. Recognise some of the common mechanisms of organic reactions and use these mechanisms to explain and predict products. Write chemical equations for and analyse organic reactions in contexts such as industrial processes and biological transformations. 6. Relate the concept of chemical equilibrium to reactions, including organic transformations, to analyse properties such as acidity and basicity; and apply the concept to industrial, biological and environmental processes. 7. Use the ideas of reaction kinetics to analyse reactions in terms of fundamental molecular processes and interpret the consequences for the preparation and reactions of organic materials. Please note: Learning Outcomes are subject to change until the beginning of the semester in which the course is delivered.

Learning experience The practical aspect of this course involves undertaking supervised laboratory work using chemicals. Those students with physical disabilities or limitations need to discuss requirements with the course coordinator prior to commencement of the course. Internal students should attend lectures, tutorials and laboratories and interact with teaching staff at these events or through the Stream environment.

Assessments During this course, the following assessments will contribute to your final mark.
