Principle

This experiment serves as the first introduction to the chemistry of organic substances, and at the same time to the detection of the element carbon. Right at the start of the teaching unit "Organic chemistry", illustrate the historical predecessors of "Organic chemistry" and the development of the field.

Learning objectives

• All organic substances contain carbon as a common element.

• Organic chemistry is therefore the chemistry of carbon compounds.

Benefits

• Easy teaching and efficient learning by using interactive experimentation PHYWE-Software
• Experiment is part of a complete solution set with experiments for the topic Organic Chemistry matched with international curriculum: all topics are covered
