Chemistry Laboratory 2
Module code: F1005
Level 4
15 credits in spring semester
Teaching method: Laboratory, Lecture, Workshop
Assessment modes: Coursework
On this module, you’ll learn to organise, process, analyse and discuss data from chemistry lab experiments.
This includes:
- computations covering synthesis
- product and compound analysis
- results processing
- presenting results in a well-structured scientific report.
You’ll apply these skills by using data from actual laboratory experiments involving:
- simple inorganic synthesis
- separation
- characterisation techniques.
You’ll also learn about using computers in chemistry. This includes:
- familiarisation with computations environment and materials
- using specialised software and programs
- an introduction to computational chemistry
- an introduction to coding for chemistry purposes.
Module learning outcomes
- Demonstrate the necessary skills and knowledge for writing manuscripts intended to report scientific results from experiments and computations.
- Show knowledge of of the objectives, the methodologies and establishing the rationales of experimental procedures in a typical chemistry experiment setup.
- Demonstrate a good overview and understanding of transferable basic laboratory practical skills and techniques within the frame of inorganic experiments.
- Demonstrate a working knowledge and the ability to use computations resources for chemistry experiments, including a basic understanding and use of computational chemistry methodologies.
