Applied Chemistry Laboratory develops practical skills through experiments involving water analysis, corrosion, chemical reactions, material characterization, solution preparation, and analytical techniques, emphasizing safety, accuracy, and scientific interpretation.
Course Outcome:
At the end of the course, the students will be able to:
CO1: Demonstrate proficiency in laboratory safety practices, handling of chemical reagents, preparation of standard solutions, and the use of volumetric analysis apparatus.
CO2: Perform acid–base and redox titrations to determine the concentration or strength of unknown solutions and analyze experimental results accurately.
CO3: Determine physicochemical properties of samples, including pH, total hardness, total alkalinity, surface tension, viscosity, redox potential, and partition coefficient using appropriate analytical techniques.
CO4: Carry out organic chemistry experiments, including the preparation of iodoform, differentiation between aldehydes and ketones using qualitative tests, and separation of compounds by thin-layer chromatography.
CO5: Synthesize polymers or drugs and evaluate the properties of oils through saponification and acid value determination using standard laboratory methods.
CO6: Record experimental observations, perform calculations, interpret analytical data, and prepare laboratory reports while adhering to good laboratory practices and safety guidelines.
