Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course students will be able to:
- Demonstrate a firm understanding and practical experience of basic experimental used in the chemistry laboratory.
- Understand the connection between these experimental techniques and the lecture material presented in Chemistry 3A and Chemistry 3B.
- Work in a chemical laboratory in a safe and responsible manner, both singly and as part of a team.
- Follow a precise set of experimental instructions and present and discuss the results in the form of a clear, concise scientific report.
- Use personal computers for the collection, analysis, processing and presentation of quantitative experimental data, and for a range of molecular modelling techniques.
- Demonstrate an enhanced appreciation of the source of errors in quantitative measurements and the design of experiments to reduce those errors.
- Demonstrate competence at spectral interpretation (IR, UV-vis, NMR, mass spectra), both for confirming the nature of expected reaction products and for identifying unknown materials, and in analytical methods.
- Demonstrate familiarity with all, and experience of some, of the more complex techniques used in a synthetic laboratory, for example: synthesis under inert atmospheres; Schlenk vacuum line and glove-box techniques; syringe techniques; use of a liquefied gas.
- Locate specific information in the scientific literature and use this information to support experimental results, or present it either in a summarised form, or as a more detailed report.
