Course Objective:

The primary objective of the (Physical) Chemistry Laboratory course is to provide students with hands-on experience in experimental techniques that illustrate and reinforce the principles of physical chemistry. This includes developing proficiency in data collection, analysis and interpretation.Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

CO1: Apply fundamental chemical principles to solve problems, interpret data, and explain outcomes.

CO2: Use a variety of laboratory techniques to safely conduct chemical experiments and procedures.

CO 3: Develop and utilize effective computer, written, and oral communication skills in a scientific setting.

CO 4: Demonstrate readiness for a career or advanced degree in chemistry or a chemistry- related field.
