About the Course

This Laboratory course covers experiments in physical and organic chemistry. In physical chemistry the experiments are based on thermochemistry and pH measurements. You would learn about the determination of the enthalpies of solution, neutralisation, ionisation, hydration and dissolution; and measurement of pH of different solutions using pH-meter. In the organic chemistry part you would learn about simple laboratory techniques such as heating, cooling, stirring and filtration as well as separation and purification techniques like crystallisation and distillation. You would also learn about experiments based on organic preparations.
