the book on Handbook of Practical Chemistry for Undergraduates: Volume II in the hands of students learning chemistry at undergraduate level and the teachers of chemistry. The book is written by keeping in mind curriculum of chemistry prescribed by UGC taught at different levels. In Volume II of the handbook, we have tried to cover experiments of the of third year level of students of B. Sc. Practical chemistry is the core part of curriculum of chemistry. Therefore, we have included about 90 experiments in this handbook. The handbook includes different experiments of physical chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and analytical chemistry.
Experiments of physical chemistry include both, instrumental and non-instrumental practicals. The instrumental experiments from physical chemistry include potentiometry, conductometry, pH metry, polarimetry, flame photometry, refractometry and colorimetry. Non-instrumental practicals include, kinetics, viscosity, etc.
Experiments of organic chemistry include Separation of binary mixture and Organic Qualitative Analysis, organic preparations and organic estimations. Green chemistry preparations and preparation of derivatives are also included. Experiments of inorganic chemistry include Inorganic Qualitative Analysis, volumetric analysis, gravimetric analysis and inorganic preparations.
The book focuses on understanding the principle involved in different experiments. The experiments include the theory behind experiment, reactions involved, labelled diagrams, procedures, calculations, literature required and results. Preparation of solutions required for each experiment are given in details including quantity of reagents required. Procedures of experiments are simple and given in details considering level of students. Calculations are also given in details. Precautions required while performing experiments are also given wherever necessary. Diagrams are well labelled for better understanding of the students.
To develop interest of learners, at the end of experiments, questions are also given. The literature required for experiments is also given. In case of some experiments, standard results like melting points of compounds are also provided.
Considering the depth of students, book is written in very simple language and unnecessary explanation is avoided. It will definitely generate interest of the learner in understanding of the experiments. I hope this book will be useful for the undergraduate students of chemistry.
