Course Coordinator : Dr. Bibhu PrasadSahoo
COURSE OBJECTIVE:
To enrich the students with basic concepts in
Chemistry to strengthen the fundamentals
which will support for pursuing education and
research in engineering.
Develop idea on feasibility and mechanism of
chemical processes, conceptualize alternative
source of energy by electrochemical means.
Handling instrumental techniques to explore
chemical products
COURSE OUTCOMES :
After completing the course, the students will be able to

consideration and apply the knowledge to decide the feasibility
of a given process
CO2: analyze the kinetics of simple and multistep reactions as well as
theories of reaction rates
CO3: understand the importance of catalysis, the different types of
catalysts, their mechanism of action and their applications
CO4: evaluate some properties such as pH, solubility product etc. by
using electrochemical cell and understand the working of modern
batteries
CO5: distinguish the different electromagnetic radiations used for
exciting different molecular energy levels in various spectroscopic
techniques to evaluate the structure of molecules
CO6: get an exposure to different types of smart and intelligent
materials.
