Chemistry Laboratory 1 (F1002)
Chemistry Laboratory 1
Module F1002
Module details for 2025/26.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 4
Module Outline
This module will introduce the organization, process, analysis and discussion of data from chemistry laboratory experiments covering synthesis, product and compound analysis, results processing, and finally the presentation of results in the form of a well-structured scientific report. Students will apply these skills from actual laboratory experiments comprising simple organic synthesis, separation, and characterization techniques. Importantly, the students will learn and apply essential techniques to determine key physical parameters including enthalpy and vaporpressure of some compounds.
Module learning outcomes
Demonstrate the necessary skills and knowledge for assessing Health and Safety in the laboratory, writing COSHH forms and report scientific results from experiments in the form of lab reports
Show knowledge of the objectives, the methodologies and establishing the rationales of experimental procedures in a typical chemistry experiment setup.
Demonstrate a good overview and understanding of transferable basic laboratory practical skills and techniques within the frame of organic and physical chemistry experiments.
Demonstrate a working knowledge of the underlying concepts and principles of some key techniques to analyse reaction outcomes and characterize compounds.
