Chemistry Laboratory 2 (F1005)
Chemistry Laboratory 2
Module F1005
Module details for 2025/26.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 4
Module Outline
This module aims to introduce on how to organise, process, analyse and discuss data from chemistry lab experiments as well as from computations covering synthesis, product and compound analysis, results processing, and finally the presentation of results in the form of a well-structured scientific reports. Students will apply these skills from actual laboratory experiments comprising simple inorganic synthesis, separation, and characterization techniques; additionally, students will be introduced to using computers in chemistry that includes familiarisation with computations environment and materials, know-how on using specialised software and programs, introduction to computational chemistry and finally introduction to coding for chemistry purposes.
Module learning outcomes
Demonstrate the necessary skills and knowledge for writing manuscripts intended to report scientific results from experiments and computations.
Show knowledge of 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 inorganic experiments.
Demonstrate a working knowledge and the ability to use computations resources for chemistry experiments, including a basic understanding and use of computational chemistry methodologies.
