Chemistry Laboratory XV

(Practical)

 

 

CO195: Apply the knowledge of volumetric and gravimetric techniques in separation and estimation of the amount of different metal ions present in the mixture.

CO196: Determine stability constant, formation constant  and composition of complexes spectrophotometrically.

CO197: Compile and report the results efficiently and develop communication skills.

CO198: Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction.

Approach in teaching:

Laboratory instructions and

demonstrations.

 

Learning activities for the students:

Peer learning, hands-on-learning,

interpretation of data, record writing and learning through virtual labs.

Conduction of experiments, lab records, viva voce and

quiz.

2. Spectrophotometry

The exercise carries 25 marks, 5 marks shall be awarded for preparatory work, setting up of an apparatus, neat and methodical work.

20 marks will be awarded for correct observation, use of correct formula, calculation and result within permissible limits.

  • Theory and procedure                                                               6 marks
  • Correct observation and proper recording                                   7 marks
  • Use of correct formula and calculation                                        7 marks
  • Result                                                                                       5 marks

The permissible limit will be decided by the examiner as it varies with the nature of experiment.

3.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.
