Science and Humanities – Chemistry
Chemistry Laboratory
Chemistry laboratory is well-designed to provide an excellent learning environment. With a spacious layout and modern digital equipment, it ensures that students have access the tools and enhance their understanding of chemistry. The fact that special attention is given to individual students and that they are provided with the necessary apparatus is great for fostering hands-on learning. This approach would likely help students excel and gain a deeper understanding of the subject.
This laboratory has all the necessary equipment for preparation of samples and standards for various analyses of liquid and solid samples. The laboratory houses traditional equipment including glassware, a muffle furnace, centrifuge and ovens.
LIST OF EXPERIMENTS
- Determination of total, temporary and permanent hardness of water by EDTA methods
- Determination of alkalinity in water sample.
- Determination of chloride content of water sample by Argentometric method.
- Determination of DO content of water sam
- Estimation of copper in brass by EDTA.
- Conductometric titration of strong acid vs strong base.
- Estimation of iron content of the given solution using potentiometer.
Determination of strength of given hydrochloric acid using pH meter.
