Course Type: SEC-1

Semester: 1

Course Code: BCEMSEC01T

Course Title: Skill Enhancing Basic Applications of Chemistry

(L-P-Tu): 3-0-0

Credit: 3

Practical/Theory: Theory

Course Objective: COURSE OBJECTIVE OF SEC-1: In order to augment the employability, the Skill Enhancement Course has been designed by incorporating the theories of the various titrations of Inorganic Chemistry, theories of Surface Tension and Viscosity related experiments

Learning Outcome: COURSE OUTCOMES: CO- 1: Understanding of the theories for quantitative estimation by volumetric titration. CO- 2: Understanding the theories behind the experiments designed to measure surface tension and the viscosity of fluids. CO-3: This part is design

1. Volumetric Titration- (10 L):

a) Theory of Acid Base Titrations of Strong acid vs. strong base, strong acid vs. weak base, weak base vs. strong acid and weak acid vs. weak base.

b) Theory of Redox Titration of Oxalic Acid vs. KMnO4, Fe2+ vs. KMnO4, Fe2+ vs. K2Cr2O7.

c) Theory of Complexometric Titration of Ca2+ and Mg2+ by Na2EDTA, Hardness of Water.

2. Theory of experiments involving Surface Tension and Viscosity- (5 L)

3. Basis concepts of Computational Chemistry using Microsoft Excel and Microcal Origin – (15 L)

4. Basic concept of Green Chemistry – (15 L)

a) What is Green Chemistry?

b) Twelve principles of Green Chemistry.

c) Discussion about atom economy and calculation of atom economy of the addition, substitution and elimination reactions.

d) Brief introduction about Green solvents.

e) Short introduction about alternative energy resources.

f) Green materials used in ourdaily life viz, marine anti-foulant, healthier fats and oil, poly lactic acid (without any synthesis).
