CH 143 - Lab for CH 142


Credit Hours: 1.0

Continuation of CH 141. Topics covered: solutions, acid and base titration, redox analysis, pH indicators, introduction to organic compounds and qualitative analysis of transition metal cations.

Course Outcomes
Upon the completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • use routine laboratory instruments like analytical balances, pH meters and spectrometers in the performance of chemical experiments;
  • use volumetric glassware properly to achieve its possible precision;
  • predict whether osmosis, dialysis or both will occur when solutions are separated by semipermeable membranes;
  • determine end-points in acid-base titrations;
  • determine the concentration of solutes in unknown solutions;
  • balance redox reactions and predict spontaneity of replacement reactions;
  • recognize and classify organic and biochemical compounds by knowledge of their functional groups;
  • determine the pH of aqueous solutions using acid-base indicators and pH meters;
  • explain shifts in chemical equilibrium based on LeChatelier’s Principle; and
  • calculate % yields for synthesis reactions
