About

You will be able to

  • Determine rate constants of first- and second-order reactions
  • Determine partition coefficients and equilibrium constants by distribution
  • Measure surface tension and viscosity of liquids and find the composition of mixtures
  • Determine critical solution temperature and study phase diagrams
  • Plot graphs, calculate results and answer viva questions

Who it is for

  • B.Sc Chemistry students of Semester 3 (UP State Universities, NEP 2020)
  • Students preparing for the B.Sc Chemistry practical examination and viva

What you need

  • Theory of Chemical Dynamics and Coordination Chemistry
  • Titration skills from Semester 1

Questions

Which syllabus does this lab course follow?

It follows the B.Sc Chemistry Semester 3 syllabus of the UP State Universities (NEP 2020 common minimum syllabus). Where your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.

How are students assessed at the centre?

The trainer watches each experiment and marks it on a rubric (set-up, observations, calculation and viva); viva-style questions revise the theory behind the experiments.

Will this help in the semester examination?

Yes. The experiments match the university practical examination, including the record file and viva.
