Aims
This course will provide an introduction to the techniques and practice of a modern chemical laboratory, including each of the areas of Inorganic, Organic, Physical, Analytical and Computational Chemistry. The course will also establish the requirements for written and computational work throughout the programme, and thus for future work in the chemical and allied industries.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Identify and practise health and safety requirements in the laboratory.
2.
Select and construct suitable laboratory equipment for standard operations.
3.
Carry out simple chemical separations.
4.
Select and perform simple analytical procedures.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Good laboratory practice; chemical drawing; labware construction; simple mixture separation; recrystallisation; thin layer chromatography; infrared spectroscopy; ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, fluorimetry; quantitative analysis.
Module Overview:
In this module you will be provided with an introductory level experience in the chemical laboratory, particularly in areas of safety, equipment, and manipulations. You will cover the practical aspects of Inorganic, Organic, Physical and Analytical Chemistry dealt with in the two accompanying first-semester theoretical modules. This module will also help you establish the requirements for written and computational work throughout the programme, and thus for future work in the chemical and allied industries.
