This course is the part of Organic chemistry -III, which mainly focuses on the structural aspects, synthesis, and properties of different classes of Carbohydrates. This course also provides an introduction to Drug chemistry.

Poymers and Dyes

This course deals with Adsorption – types, adsorption of gases by solids – factors influencing adsorption –
Freundlich adsorption isotherm – Langmuir adsorption isotherm –derivation of Langmuir
adsorption isotherm. The BET theory (no derivation) – use of BET equation for the
determination of surface area.
Types of solutions – true, colloid and suspensions, Purification of colloids – Ultra
filtration and electrodialysis, optical and electrical properties of colloids. Electrical double layer and zeta potential. Coagulation of colloids, Hardy-Schulz rule. Micelles and critical
micelle concentration, sedimentation and streaming potential
