Syllabus
The main experiments involved include the following.
1. Estimation of dissolved oxygen content in water by Winkler's method
2. Soap preparation using vegetable oil of fat
3. Estimation of dissolved chlorine in a given water sample by Mohr's method
4. Determination of saponification value of given oil sample
5. Calculation of acid value of oil sample or fat
6. Determination of fat content in food stuff as percentage by weight
7. Estimation of total organic content in soil sample
Course Objectives
- The laboratory aims at imparting a comprehensive picture about various laboratory procedures for chemical compounds and inherent substances properties estimation.
- Water sample parameters like chlorine content, dissolved oxygen are to be estimated.
- Oil sample analysis based on the saponification value, acid value are to be estimated. Synthetic preparation of a soap sample from a oil sample will be practised.
Course Outcomes
