CHM 108
General Practical Chemistry II
1
Course Description
At the end of this course, the students should be able to:
1. state the general laboratory rules and safety procedures;
2. collect scientific data and correctly carry out chemical experiments;
3. identify the basic glassware and equipment in the laboratory;
4. identify and carry out preliminary tests which include ignition, boiling point, melting point,
test on known and unknown organic compounds;
5. carry out solubility tests on known and unknown organic compounds;
6. carry out elemental tests on known and unknown compounds; and
7. carry out functional group/confirmatory test on known and unknown compounds which
could be acidic/basic/ neutral organic compounds.
Course Outline
Continuation of CHM 107. Additional laboratory experiments to include functional group
analysis, quantitative analysis using volumetric methods.
