Laboratory Experiments On The Class Reactions And Identification Of Organic Substances - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as a supplement to the ordinary course of instruction in preparation work. The authors experience has shown that the preparation of typical organic substances in accordance with the plans followed in the manuals of Gattermann, Levy, Fischer, etc., teaches satisfactorily the manipulative methods of organic chemistry and the manner of execution of the leading synthetic processes, but that it fails, to a surprising extent in the case of most students, to give a knowledge of the important characteristics of the various classes of organic compounds, and therefore of the fundamental principles of the science. Unless the instructor is continually on the alert, the course of preparation work becomes almost unavoidably a routine following of directions. Although the primary purpose of the experiments here described is to illustrate the characteristic reactions of organic compounds, their analytical significance is a feature of no slight importance; for, both in research and technical work, the chemist has frequent occasion to identify the substances he meets with. On this account, and also because it is always desirable to make evident to the student some practical use of the information presented to him, the analytical side of the experiments has been made prominent; and an important part of the course consists in the identification of unknown compounds and the quantitative separation of mixtures by methods devised by the student himself with the help of the knowledge gained from the experiments with known substances.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
