Inorganic Chemical Synthesis (InorgSyn)
Course content
Laboratory work is an essential part of natural science education as all knowledge and theory is based on practical experimentation and observation. In this course we plan and execute inorganic syntheses, including chemistry in solution, chemistry at high temperatures, and electrochemical oxidations and reductions. All work includes evaluation of safety aspects of the applied procedures and equipment.
BSc Programme in Chemistry
MSc Programme in Biotechnology with a minor subject
Knowledge:
The student will be familiar with chemical unit operations, i. e. basic process steps, involving separation, extraction, filtration, evaporation, crystallization, sublimation, and chemical and physical transformations, and be familiar with how synteses may be composed of these unit operations.
Skills:
The student will be able to operate common laboratory equipment, work safely in a synthesis laboratory, and to use electronic databases in order to obtain relevant chemical and safety information.
Competences:
Read and understand synthesis recipies from English, Danish, German literature and adapt and modify procedures to locally available facilities and equipment. Prepare appropiate risk assessments based on the chemical content of the assignments.
Inorganic synthesis. For each assignment, the synthesis product accompanying a 1-2 page report summarizing the synthetic work must be handed in. The report must contain relevant balanced reaction schemes, masses and amounts of used chemicals, and yields.
Notes and handouts from primary and synthesis literature.
It is recommended that the student is familiar with the content of the mandatory courses from the first year of the bachelor's program in chemistry.
Students must have passed the course NKEB13003U Uorganisk kemi 1 (KemiU1)
- ECTS
- 7,5 ECTS
- Type of assessment
-
Continuous assessment
- Type of assessment details
- The evaluation is based on 8 achieved experimental results (products and the corresponding submitted reports). All submissions are equally weighted in the evaluation.
- Aid
- All aids allowed
- Marking scale
- passed/not passed
- Censorship form
- No external censorship
Several internal examiners
- Re-exam
-
If all syntheses have been completed, a re-exam is a hand-in of missing samples and associated reports.
If some of the syntheses have not been carried out, these must be completed the next time the course is offered.
Criteria for exam assessment
Each experimental result, i. e. synthesized sample and associated report, is assessed with equal weight.
