Undergraduate Chemistry Vol. 2

About the Book It is a complete book for the second semester of undergraduate class of any university in particular Delhi University that includes theory and practicals. The book contains chapters on physical chemistry including theromodynamics thermochemistry chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium. It also contains units in organic chemistry namely functional groups containing halogen and oxygen. Halogen compounds involve study of aliphatic halides aryl halides and haloarenes. Oxygen functional groups include alcoholic-OH phenolic-OH ethers aldehydes and ketones. A detailed study of chemical reactions and mechanism of important reactions has been included. It includes summary of reactions in each category of functional groups in a flow sheet form. Last two chapters give details of experiments in physical and organic chemistry. Contents 1.
