Coming soon
Chemistry Laboratory XI(B)
This course will enable the students to
- understand the principles and applications of various separation techniques, including chromatography, solvent extraction, and ion exchange, and apply them to separate and identify compounds in different types of mixtures.
- perform various analytical techniques, including spectrophotometry, flame photometry, and ion exchange chromatography, to determine the properties of different samples, such as pH and metal ion concentrations.

- Solvent extraction of zirconium with amberliti LA-1, separation from a mixture of iron and gallium.
- Determination of Na, Ca, Li in cola drinks and fruit juices using flame photometric techniques.
- Estimation of calcium, magnesium, phosphate, nitrate in soil sample.
- Determine the composition of the Ferric-salicylate/ ferric-thiocyanate complex by Job’s method.
- Determination of exchange capacity of cation exchange resins and anion exchange resins.
- Separation of metal ions from their binary mixture using ion exchange chromatography.
- Separation of amino acids from organic acids by ion exchange chromatography.
Minor Experiments:
- Determination of pH of soil sample and estimate total soluble salt in this soil sample.
- To determine the specific conductivity of soil sample.
- Chromatographic separation (TLC) and identification on the basis of Rf values of -
- Mixture of Sudan Yellow and Sudan Red (Azo dyes)
- Active ingredients of plants, flowers, fruit juices and identify them on the basis of their Rf values.
- Mixture of organic compounds
Demonstrations
- Determination of dissolved oxygen in water.
- Determination of chemical oxygen demand (COD).
- Determination of biological oxygen demand (BOD).
Scheme of Examination
The duration of examination will be 5 hrs.
The following exercises will be set in the examination
Major Experiment 38 marks
Minor Experiment 20 marks
Viva 12 marks
Total 70 marks
The students will be allotted two experiments to perform in the lab. The exercises can be modified by the examiners and the same will be explained to the candidates. However, such modifications will not involve any departure from the basic principles over which experiments are prescribed in the syllabus.
Candidates shall be given one major and one minor exercise out of the exercises prescribed in the syllabus. The distribution of marks will be as follows:
Major Minor
Theory and procedure 8 marks 4 marks
Correct observation 8 marks 5 marks
Use of correct formula 8 marks 4 marks
Calculation 8 marks 5 marks
Result 6 marks 2 marks
No marks for calculation will be awarded to a candidate for not calculating result.
The permissible error will depend on the nature of the experiment. One mark shall be deducted for each + 2% error over permissible limit.
Viva
Oral questions shall generally be asked over the work assigned to the candidate. The purpose is to find out as to what extent the candidate has understanding the basic principles.
