(Common to all branches of B.E., / B.Tech., Programmes)
CHEMISTRY LABORATORY: (Any five experiments to be conducted)
OBJECTIVES
To make the student to acquire practical skills in the determination of water quality
parameters through volumetric and instrumental analysis.
To acquaint the students with the determination of molecular weight of a polymer by
viscometery.
To make the student conversant with the corrosion defects experimentally.
To develop and understand the basic concepts of acidic and basic nature using pH.
To make the student familiar with the properties and nature of alloys experimentally.
List of Experiments
1. Estimation of HCl using Na2CO3 as primary standard and determination of alkalinity
in water sample.
2. Estimation of copper content of the given solution by iodometry.
3. Determination of strength of given hydrochloric acid using pH meter.
4. Determination of strength of acids in a mixture of acids using conductivity meter.
5. Estimation of iron content of the given solution using potentiometer.
6. Determination of molecular weight of polyvinyl alcohol using Ostwald viscometer.
7. Pseudo first order kinetics-ester hydrolysis.
8. Corrosion experiment-weight loss method.
9. Conductometric titration of strong acid vs strong base.
OUTCOMES
The students should be able to:
Obtain the hands-on knowledge in the quantitative chemical analysis of water
quality related parameters.
Understand the experimental concepts in the mixture of acids and bases.
Appreciate the need of iodometry in the estimation of metals.
Explore the drawbacks of corrosion by weight loss method.
Design and carry out the scientific experiments related to boiler troubles.
