This lecture begins a series describing the development of organic chemistry in chronological order, beginning with the father of modern chemistry, Lavoisier. The focus is to understand the logic of the development of modern theory, technique and nomenclature so as to use them more effectively. Chemistry begins before Lavoisier's "Chemical Revolution," with the practice of ancient technology and alchemy, and with discoveries like those of ...more

Professor Sylvia Ceyer continues her discussion on chemical equilibrium and external effects such as a change in volume, adding inert gas, and a change in temperature. Parameters are set for maximizing the yield of a reaction, and the Principle of Le Chatelier's is returned to. Hemoglobin is used as an example involved in a series of equilibrium reactions in response to oxygen pressure.

Half a century before direct experimental observation became possible, most structures of organic molecules were assigned by inspired guessing based on plausibility. But Wilhelm Körner developed a strictly logical system for proving the structure of benzene and its derivatives based on isomer counting and chemical transformation. His proof that the six hydrogen positions in benzene are equivalent is the outstanding example of this chemical...more
