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.
