Course

This course will provide hands-on experience on the operation of various sophisticated analytical instruments (UV-VIS, IR, NIR-UV-VIS, Fluorescence Spectrophotometer etc.). The course will involve the analysis of various physical chemistry parameters of materials and the study of their applications. Topics include but are not restricted to the below points.1.Determination of strengths of halides in a mixture potentiometrically.2.To find the redox potential of the given sample using cyclic voltammetry.3.Determination of half wave potential of Cd & Zn by polarography.4.Determination of pKa of an indicator in aqueous and micellar medium using UV-Vis spectroscopy.5.Determination of stoichiometry and stability constant of inorganic (ferric-salicylic acid) and organic (amineiodine) complexes using UVVis spectroscopy.6.Determination of copper and cadmium in a mixture by electrogravimetry.7.Determination of rate constant for enzyme kinetics-inversion of sucrose.8.Determination of a molecular weight of a solute using Beckmann thermometer.9.Refractometric determination of composition of solutions.10.Spectrophotometric determination of the amount of Cr (VI) in the given solution as dichromate by the method o least squares.11.Spectrophotometric determination of the amount of fluoride present in the given solution.12.Determination of the amount of acetic acid in a sample of vinegar by potentiometric titration with a standard bas using quinhydrone.13.Determination of vitamin C content of a given tablet pHmetrically.14.Spectrophotometric determination of Fe in Water Sample using Standard Addition.15.Synthesis and Characterization of nanomaterial
