Syllabus

1. Determination of Order for the Persulphate-Iodide Reaction
2. Determination of the rate constant of hydrolysis of an ester in aqueous acidic medium.
3. Conductometric titration of a mixture of strong and weak acid with a strong base
4. pH metric titration of a mixture of strong and weak acid with a strong base
5. Study of the distribution equilibrium of iodine in water/tolune.
6. Adsorption charatertistics of acetic acid on charcoal
7. Verification of Beer-Lambert law.
8. Ionization constant of a weak acid (acetic acid).
9. Solubility of a sparingly soluble salt.
10. Determination of pKa values of Orhophosphoric acid using pH Meter

These experiments are intended to acquaint the students with the practice of experimental physical chemistry

The students will receive adequate exposure so that they can independently handle and interpret data from basic instruments used in physical chemistry

Students are expected to understand the interconnection between experimental foundation and underlying theoretical principles and to develop laboratory skills and get familiar with a variety of physico-chemical measurement techniques
