Using the same methods found in Dr Pavia's award winning SQUALOR, this new program is a simulation of the qualitative organic analysis laboratory. Identification of Organic Compounds includes:

• Over 140 unknowns
• On-screen notebook for students to keep
...track of their work
• IR, NMR, CMR and Mass Spec data
• Student management system and unknown
...editor

Students select or are assigned one or more unknowns from 11 functional groups. They perform tests, choosing from 24 classification tests and 18 derivative forming reactions. Spectral information is also available for many of the unknowns. Tests are reported as observations and students must determine the implications of the results.   
.

The lab simulation allows students to work on a greater number of unknowns in a shorter period of time. The simulation improves students' lab efficiency, and there's no danger, breakage, and no cost for purchasing and disposing of chemicals.
.

For the instructor there's a student management system, utilities for editing the unknowns, the ability to assign students specific unknowns and to randomize the unknown list.
