This course usual covers wide range of topics including Hazardous chemicals and their properties, Arithmetic and geometric mean, Guassian distribution, multiple regression models, Buoyancy correction and its significance, Acids and bases and their respective properties and treatment, different ways of determination of iron sample., equivalent conductance, pipetting and its systematic errors, ways to correct errors in laboratory, safe laboratory procedures, means of calibration, essential requirements of laboratory notebook, protocols for water and waste water. Some of these are really important if you need to handle the laboratory equipments to the best of your abilities. The paper has three parts of 20 marks, 12 marks and 18 marks respectively.
