LABORATORY OF GENERAL CHEMISTRY - MOD.1

The target of this short-time lab course is to offer to the students the
chance to get used to basic lab hardware and handling practice in safety
conditions, anyway performing some useful experiments in connection with theory and/or general chemical knowledge.

To have acquired a minimal laboratory ability, performing some useful practical experiences

Having attended the lessons presenting the lab exercises

Synthesis of some salts: copper sulphate, ammonium iron(II) sulphate, zinc sulphate.
Preparation of potassium alum from scrap aluminum (example of environmental sustainability).
Acid/base titrations using pHmeter and indicators, and determination of pKa for a weak acid (HAc) by titration.
Building up of zinc/copper (Daniell) cell and other electrochemical cells: electromotive force measuraments.

Laboratory issues, downlodable "via" Moodle.

Laboratory experiences reports.

Group (2/3 students) laboratory practical experiences.

Evaluation of lab reports will contribute to the final global evaluation of the course.
The student must attend at least 80% of lab sessions to be admitted to final examination.
