  This course introduces basics laboratory skills required for undergraduate chemistry experiments. This course consists of three main components; proper handling of glassware and laboratory apparatus, preparation of stock, standard and buffer solutions, separation and purification of organic and inorganic compounds using thin-layer chromatography and crystallization methods.
• Select topic Buffer Solution

  Buffer Solution

  A buffer solution consists of a conjugate acid/base pair, so it maintains a fairly constant pH value upon addition of a small amount of acid or base and dilution. A buffer solution can be prepared from a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A-) or a weak base (B) and its conjugate acid (BH+). The equilibrium and equilibrium-constant expression for the dissociation of a weak acid.
