Organic chemistry, energetics, kinetics and equilibrium / Brian Chapman, Alan Jarvis

By: Chapman, Brian, 1935-.
Contributor(s): Jarvis, Alan [(j.a.)].
Series: Nelson advanced science. Publisher: Cheltenham, U.K. : Nelson, 2000Description: viii, 88 p. ; 28 cm.ISBN: 0174482906.Subject(s): Chemical kinetics | Chemistry, OrganicDDC classification: 540
Contents:
Introduction. - 1. Energy - The driving force of life. - 2. Organic chemistry - general principles. - 3. Alkanes and alkenes. - 4. Haloalkanes. - 5. Functional groups containing oxygen. - 6. Kinetics - How fast do reactions go? - 7. Equilibria - How far do reactions go? - 8. Industrial inorganic chemistry. - Assessment questions. - Appendix : the periodic table of the elements. - Index
Summary: Organic Chemistry, Energetics, Kinetics and Equilibrium is one of four books in the Nelson Advanced Science (NAS) series developed by updating and reorganising the material from the Nelson Advanced Modular Science (AMS) books to align with the requirements of the specifications from September 2000. The books will also be useful for other AS and Advanced courses. The book provides coverage of Unit 2 of the Edexcel specification. The book first looks at the importance of energy changes (expressed in terms of enthalpy) to a wide range of reactions and to the stability of compounds. A traditional, non-mechanistic approach is taken for the study of organic chemistry, with the examination of aliphatic compounds, their preparation and properties; it ends with a look at some commercial appications. The study of kinetics is entirely non-mathematical, the aim is to establish an appreciation of what controls rates rather than their measurement. The treatment of equilibrium is also qualitative. These lead to an understanding of the factors that must be considered when reversible reactions are used industrially. - Introduction.
