Resources and Facilities
Reactions. Results. Real Impact.
Well-Equipped Laboratories
A vast array of facilities and resources are available in the Chemistry department to facilitate research and academic learning. For inorganic, organic, physical, and analytical chemistry, it usually consists of well-equipped labs with spectrophotometers, pH meters, centrifuges, hot air ovens, and analytical balances, among other necessary equipment. High- purity reagents for experiments, safety equipment, and a chemical storehouse are frequently made available by the department. Together, these materials create an atmosphere that is favorable to experiential learning, creativity, and scientific investigation.
Chemicals and Reagents
In chemistry, chemicals and reagents are essential tools for conducting experiments, evaluating materials, and creating new molecules. Acids, bases, salts, solvents, indicators, and specific organic or inorganic compounds are just a few of the many materials that fall under this category. While reagents like Benedict’s solution, Fehling’s solution, Grignard reagents, and Schiff’s reagent serve particular analytical or synthetic objectives, common chemicals like hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and ethanol are employed for basic reactions and titrations. Depending on the kind of chemical reaction or test being conducted, reagents are carefully chosen. For accuracy and safety in the lab, chemicals must be handled, labeled, and stored properly.
Safety and Waste Disposal
Separating chemical waste according to its type—organic, inorganic, acidic, basic, or toxic and putting it in garbage containers with the appropriate labels are equally crucial. Unless authorized by safety regulations, waste should never be poured into the sink. To avoid contaminating the environment and endangering human health, institutions frequently manage chemical waste according to national and international standards. Maintaining a safe and sustainable laboratory environment requires educating lab users on safety regulations and disposal techniques.
