Course Objectives: The course consists of experiments related to the principles of chemistry required for engineering student. The student will learn:

• Estimation of hardness and chloride content in water to check its suitability for drinking purpose.
• To determine the rate constant of reactions from concentrations as an function of time.
• The measurement of physical properties like adsorption and viscosity.
• To synthesize the drug molecules and check the purity of organic molecules by thin layer chromatographic (TLC) technique.

Course Outcomes: The experiments will make the student gain skills on:

• Determination of parameters like hardness and chloride content in water.
• Estimation of rate constant of a reaction from concentration – time relationships.
• Determination of physical properties like adsorption and viscosity.
• Calculation of R_f values of some organic molecules by TLC technique.
