This course will enable the students to
develop advanced hands on experience in the operation of conductivity meter, dropping mercury electrode and potentiometer and acquire the knowledge of basic terminology regarding conductance, chemical kinetics, adsorption, polarography and potentiometry.

Physical Chemistry Lab II (Practical) |
CO136:Calibrate and operate a variety of scientific instruments to perform observations related to the experiment. CO137:Perform experiments based on chemical kinetics, potentiometry, polarography, electrochemistry, and adsorption and explain the principle behind the experiments. CO138:Perform scientific experiments as well as accurately record experimental data and analyze the results of such experiments. CO139: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

Scheme of Examination
The duration of the examination will be 6 hrs.
The following exercises will be set in the examination
Physical Chemistry Experiment 55 marks
Viva 15 marks
Total 70 marks
The exercise carries 55 marks. The candidates shall be given one exercise out of exercises prescribed in the syllabus. The exercises in physical chemistry can be modified by the examiner 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 exercise out of the exercises prescribed in the syllabus.
The distribution of marks will be as follows
No marks for calculation will be awarded to a candidate for not calculating the result.
The permissible error will depend on the nature of the experiment. Generally, + 10% error may be taken as permissible error for experiments involving potentiometric and conductometric measurements. The constancy in values of rate constants may be taken into consideration while awarding marks in experiments on chemical kinetics. One mark shall be deducted for each + 2% error over permissible limit.
Oral questions shall generally be asked about the work assigned to the candidate. The purpose is to find out to what extent the candidate understood the basic principles of chemistry.
