The objective of this course is to practice the students with some
general chemistry techniques, i.e., filtration, titration, kinetics,
and some equilibrium conditions.
The course aims to equip undergraduate chemistry students with
the fundamental principles of practical general chemistry. The
course also aims to practice laboratory work, the use of chemical
glassware and simple devices, writing reports and plotting graphs
for the experiments.
1. Follow proper safety rules and practice proper way of
handling chemicals and laboratory equipment.
2. Cooperate with colleagues to perform the experiments.
3. Perform simple synthesis and analysis of aspirin.
4. Obtain the molar mass of unknown solid by applying
freezing point depression.
5. Investigate the factors that affect the reaction rate.
6. Apply the reaction rate law and obtain the activation
energy.
7. Distinguish some equilibrium conditions that are changed
from various changes.
8. Investigate the equilibrium constants of some equilibrium
systems.
9. Perform analysis of a water resource by acid base
titration.
10. Perform redox titration and bleach analysis.
