About

You will be able to

  • Perform preliminary and dry tests on inorganic salts
  • Detect anions including interfering radicals and remove them correctly
  • Separate and confirm cations through the group analysis scheme
  • Identify the functional group of an organic compound and prepare a derivative
  • Record systematic observations and inferences in the practical file

Who it is for

  • B.Sc Chemistry students of Semester 5 (UP State Universities, NEP 2020)
  • Students preparing for the B.Sc Chemistry practical examination and viva

What you need

  • Inorganic and organic chemistry theory of earlier semesters
  • Lab coat, goggles and fume hood use

Questions

Which syllabus does this lab course follow?

It follows the B.Sc Chemistry Semester 5 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.
