Chemistry

Core Laboratory Skills for Chemists 2

Module code: F1008
Level 5
15 credits in spring semester
Teaching method: Laboratory, Workshop
Assessment modes: Coursework

On this module you’ll link theory to practice as you explore organic synthesis, spectroscopy and kinetics. 

You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • carry out rearrangement reactions
  • determine the structure of your synthesised compounds based on your experimental data
  • apply your theoretical knowledge of spectroscopic techniques and reaction rates to chemical systems in the laboratory
  • use industry standard equipment.

You’ll gain the skills to prepare you for your future career in chemistry.

Module learning outcomes

  • Use a range of experimental techniques effectively for the production and purification of compounds.
  • Determine the structure of synthesised compounds using spectroscopic data.
  • Apply knowledge of spectroscopic techniques and kinetic theory to successfully perform experiments.
  • Use experimental data to determine spectroscopic and kinetic parameters.
