iLearn - Barnet and Southgate College

This unit introduces you to standard laboratory equipment and techniques, including titration,
colorimetry, calorimetry, chromatography, calibration procedures and laboratory safety. Through
the practical tasks in the unit, you will develop proficiency in the quantitative analytical techniques
of titration and colorimetry, including learning to calculate the concentration of solutions. You will
use measurement of temperature to study cooling curves and be introduced to paper and thin-layer
chromatography (TLC). You will also have the opportunity to calibrate equipment and will be
encouraged to be aware of the safety aspects of given laboratory procedures and techniques.
