| Aims: | To build upon prior theoretical knowledge of chemistry by consolidating and extending the practical skills essential for advanced laboratory work in the subject. |
| Learning Outcomes: | After studying this Unit, students should be able to:
* Demonstrate practical skills and techniques to a good level of ability and perform sophisticated experimental manipulation. * Perform straightforward syntheses of inorganic and/or organic compounds. * Analyse compounds and deduce structural information using a range of physical and spectroscopic methods. * Evaluate complicated results in terms of the theory underlying the experiment * Write clear and concise accounts of experimental work undertaken and of deductions made from them. * Understand the importance of advanced experimental design and safety. * Use spreadsheets to analyse data in a competent manner. * Communicate results in a variety of formats. |
| Skills: | Laboratory skills: manipulation, observation (T, F, A), problem solving (T, F, A), scientific writing (F, A), independent working (F), oral examinations (F, A). |
| Content: | A variety of experiments and exercises in inorganic (I), organic (O) and physical (P) chemistry will be undertaken according to a plan determined by the student's prior knowledge and experience of I, O and P and by lab availability and scheduling criteria. Formative feedback will be provided during the practical classes during oral examinations and discussion of reports. |
