Goals It is aimed to provide students with experimental application skills within the framework of the theoretical foundations of chemistry, which are covered in basic chemistry courses.
Course Content Introduction to Basic Chemistry Laboratory, Concept of Solubility and Preparation of Solutions, Stoichiometry, Separation and Identification of Cations, Separation Techniques and Crystallization Experiment, Distillation, pH Concept and Measurement, Acid-Base Titrations, Chemical Equilibrium, Electrolysis.
Learning Outcomes 1) The student knows the basic rules to be followed in the laboratory, defines the safety precautions to be taken, and recognizes the basic chemicals and glassware used.
2) The student explains the concept of solubility, interprets the parameters affecting solubility, and prepares aqueous solutions.
3) The student evaluates whether a reactant component is a limiting component or an increasing component, and calculates the theoretical and experimental yield values of the product formed in the reaction.
4) The student learns the reactions used in the identification of some cations.
5) The student explains the basic separation techniques used in the separation of mixtures.
6) The student identifies acidic and basic substances, explains their properties, and performs titration using these substances.
7) The student explains the factors affecting the equilibrium in chemical reactions.
8) The student recognizes the electrochemical reactions and explains the battery and electrolysis concept.
