A Handbook of Organic Chemistry Practical: (Tests, Procedures & Results) Innocent Chukwujekwu Onunkwo

Organic Chemistry is the study of hydrocarbon or carbon containing compounds, its structure, properties, reactions and preparation. This study is not limited to carbon-containing compounds as some other elements such as hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur, oxygen, silicon and phosphorus are also studied in relations to carbon compounds. Organic chemistry is broadened from natural and synthetic or man-made organic compounds that are widely used in production of pharmaceutical, paint, cosmetic, food, plastic, petroleum and explosive products in many manufacturing laboratories and industries.
The practical aspect of organic chemistry is the ideal for studying organic chemistry as it gives an insight of the skeletal and cognitive understanding of the principles of organic chemistry. These principles or skills are needed by science students and research scientists for better understanding of scientific works.
This academic textbook of Organic Chemistry practical covers students' Organic Chemistry laboratory practical techniques and analyses undertaken at colleges and tertiary institutions, and basic skills for chemical industries.
