General & Inorganic Analytical Chemistry Lab BIPH 1103

Course description:

This Course includes experiments in chemistry to train students on the use of lab. Equipment’s such as electronic balance, pipette, and burette. Also includes a number of practical experiments carried out by the student to cover the theoretical foundations such as identification of some of the physical properties as melting point and boiling point. We will also identify limiting reactant, estimate the molar mass and prepare standard solutions. It would also be an introduction to organic chemistry lab. Focusing primarily on the basic concepts.

Course Aims:

The aim of the laboratory course is to become proficient in techniques used by practicing chemist, to carry out experiments safely and carefully in the laboratory, to obtain data accurately and to manipulate the data correctly.

Course outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:  

• Perform Safe Good Laboratory Practices.
  
• Use Equipment/Instrumentation carefully.
  
• Understand different concentration expressions.
  
• Prepare solutions with different concentrations.
  
• Accurate observation of experimental results.
