Explore the chemistry of carbon with chlorine, oxygen, and sulfur, and learn how these compounds form, react, and behave in the lab and in industry.

This overview covers key carbon compounds, from simple gases to organochlorine derivatives. It explains how carbon tetrachloride is prepared, its physical properties, and how it reacts with water to yield carbonic and hydrochloric acids. It also describes the two main oxides of carbon—carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide—and how each is produced, manipulated, and used in reduction and oxidation processes. The text connects theory to practical observations, including the behavior of these gases under different temperatures and pressures, and their roles in processes like combustion and gas purification.

Understanding carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide: production, properties, and applications.
Methods for preparing and handling carbon tetrachloride and related chlorides.
Chemistry of phosgene formation and related reactions with water and ammonia.
How atmospheric carbon dioxide fits into broader chemical and environmental contexts.

Ideal for readers beginning inorganic chemistry or studying the practical aspects of carbon chemistry.
