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.
