a. Goals and Objectives
This course gives the students a sound knowledge of Inorganic and analytical
chemistry giving them a reasonable background of Periodic Table, Acidity,
Coordination Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Separation
techniques viz. precipitation, distillation, solvent extraction, chromatography, and
Spectroscopic techniques viz. NMR, MS, IR, and UV. After the course students will be
able to use chemistry as a strong tool to understand and solve the practical
problems which they come across in Engineering/Technology.
b. Course Evaluation:
There will be five quizzes (un announced), four assignments, two one hour tests and
one end semester examination. Evaluation will be on the basis
of following criteria:
Quizzes
15%
One hours tests
30%
Assignments 5%
End Semester Examination
