General objectives and working model

• The use of instruments and equipment found in a Physical Chemistry laboratory.
• The carrying out of experiments in some of the most important areas of Physical Chemistry.
• The analysis of the results obtained with the deduction of logical conclusions based on the concepts acquired.
• The elaboration of a laboratory notebook, as well as the writing of laboratory reports.

• Both at the beginning and at the end of the laboratory session, each student must verify that they have all the necessary material to carry out the practical. If this is not the case, they should inform the corresponding teacher.
• The teacher should be informed immediately of the breakage of any type of laboratory material for him/her to replace it.
• It is strictly forbidden to remove material from the laboratory.
• Laboratory work requires scrupulous cleaning of both the material used and the workbench. The material must be cleaned before use and immediately after each operation.
• At the end of each laboratory session, the student has to clean their workbench. The rubber pipette bulbs must be left full of air and never connected to the pipette. The burettes, after cleaning, should be left in the burette stand placed face down and with the key open. The student must check that all devices are disconnected. In the case of thermostatic baths used in practicals that need overnight incubation, the student should verify that the water level in the bath is adequate. The baths are always filled with deionized water.
• The scales, after each weighing, have to be cleaned and tared to zero.
• Concentrated acids must always be handled in the fume hood. If they spill, the teacher responsible must be notified immediately.
• Water is a scarce asset, unnecessary waste must be avoided.
• Mobile phones must be disconnected in the laboratory.

Laboratory diary

1. Title and date of completion.
2. Objectives of the practical.
3. Brief theoretical introduction.
4. Scheme of the experimental procedure.
5. Preliminary questions.
6. Experimental procedure. The procedure followed should be explained in detail, in such a way that someone else could repeat the experiment.
7. Results:

a. Experimental laboratory conditions.

b. Experimental data. They should be presented in an orderly manner and, whenever possible, in numbered and titled tables indicating the quantities they contain and their units. The figures should have a footnote indicating what they represent and their units.

c. Incidents that have occurred in the practical.

d. Calculations necessary to achieve the objectives of the practical that will be briefly explained.

Laboratory reports

Course Evaluation

1. Continuous evaluation of each student, based on classroom activities, participation and degree of involvement in the teaching-learning process during the laboratory sessions: attitude, skills acquired, and laboratory notebook: 30% of the overall mark.
2. Theoretical-practical tests consisting of oral and/or written examinations which shall include both theoretical and practical questions and problems: 40% of the overall mark.
3. Presentation of the results: reports, and/or oral communication: 30% of the overall mark.
