Chem.221 Chemistry of s-and p-Block Elements 3+1

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

The objectives of this course are as follows:
• To develop the general principles of metallurgy and s-, p-block elements.
• To introduce the terms minerals, ores, concentration, benefaction, calcination, roasting,
refining, etc. and explain the principles of oxidation and reduction as applied to the
extraction procedures.
• To make students ware of different methods of purification of metals, such as electrolytic,
oxidative refining, VanArkel-De Boer process and Mond‘s process are discussed and
applications of thermodynamic concepts like that of Gibbs energy and entropy to the
extraction of metals.
• To familiarize students with the patterns and trends exhibited by s- and p-block elements
and their compounds with emphasis on synthesis, structure, bonding and uses.
• To impart information about the fundamentals of internal and external redox indicators,
and iodometric/iodimetric titrations.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

By studying this course, students will be able to:
• Learn the fundamental principles of metallurgy and understand the importance of recovery
of by-products during extraction.
• Applications of thermodynamic concepts like that of Gibbs energy and
• entropy to the principles of extraction of metals.
• Learn about the characteristics of s- and p- block elements as well as the synthesis,
structure, bonding, and uses of their compounds
• Understand the concept and use of internal and external redox indicators
• Comprehend the theory and application of iodometric and iodimetric titrimetric analysis
