| Requisites: | Before taking this module you must take CH12003 |
| Learning Outcomes: |
Design and implement strategies to solve synthetic and non-synthetic problems in a concise and safe manner;
Demonstrate the ability to perform a range of synthetic procedures;
Conduct experiments in order to characterise and analyse a range of synthesised compounds, explaining the rationale for the conclusions;
Report clear and concise accounts of the experimental work performed and rationalise the conclusions;
Evaluate the results in terms of the theory underlying the experiment;
Use computer packages to perform calculations and interpret the chemical significance of the results obtained. |
| Synopsis: | To consolidate and extend the laboratory skills developed in year 1. In this unit there will be an element of experimental design and independent investigation. The experiments complement some of the lecture materials and allow you to be able to interpret experimental data theoretically and gain hands on experience. This unit will include an element of coding for chemists and transferable skills (e.g. writing and presentation) will be embedded within the unit. |
| Content: | The experiments have been designed to illustrate the wide diversity in chemistry and to highlight the multidisciplinary nature of synthetic and computational work. The experiments will extend core competencies from Year 1, and introduce you to new, skills and techniques. You will be exposed to computational techniques such as coding, modelling and manipulation.
You will also be expected to, under supervision, complete the COSHH assessments of your work. |
