Authored a book for the chemistry practical at the undergraduates’ level titled “Enhancing skills in Chemistry (SEC practicals for undergraduates)” with Ane Publications in October 2021. ISBN 13 no. 978-9390658862
This book is based on Skill Enhancement Course (SEC) as per latest LOCF (CBCS) syllabus of the University of Delhi. This book is specially designed for the BSc (H) Chemistry, BSc Life Sciences or BSc Physical Sciences undergraduate students to improve their skills. It includes hands on practice on the various topics such as Analytical Chemistry, Analytical Biochemistry, Green Chemistry, Cosmetic Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pesticide Chemistry of SEC chemistry course at one place.
This book elaborates various analytical techniques to determine pH of soil or water samples, quantitative measurement of dissolved oxygen, quantitative or qualitative analysis of biomolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids etc., and preparation of cosmetics. Specially designed market survey is also reported here to study chemical nature, structure, chemical class, toxicity, LD50, side effects, and antidote of various pesticide as well as botanical insecticides. This book describes various green synthetic methods to minimize use of less hazardous chemicals, renewable energy resources, use of natural feedstocks as an alternative of chemical synthesis. None of the book comprises such kind of detailed experiments of SEC.
As per the demand of latest flipped classroom teaching learning methods, this book also listed some of the online tools as well as use of simulators using virtual labs which makes it self-explanatory.
