1 Determination of alkalinity in the given water sample Alkalinity is a measure of the capability of water to absorb H+ ions without significant change of pH. In other words, alkalinity is a measure of the acid buffering capacity of water. The determination of alkalinity of water is necessary for controlling the corrosion, to calculate the amount of lime and soda needed for water softening; in conditioning the boiler feed water, etc
2 Determination of temporary and permanent hardness in water sample using EDTA as standard solution EDTA (Ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid) forms colourless stable complexes with Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions present in water at pH = 9-10. To maintain the pH of the solution at 9-10, buffer solution (NH4Cl + NH4OH) is used. Eriochrome Black-T (E.B.T) is used as an indicator. The sample of hard water must be treated with buffer solution and EBT indicator which forms unstable, wine-red coloured complex s with Ca2+ and Mg2+ present in water
3 Determination of temporary and permanent hardness in water sample using EDTA as standard solution. One of the factors that establish the quality of a water supply is its degree of hardness. Hardness is defined as calcium and magnesium ion content. Since most analyses do not distinguish between Ca2+ and Mg2+, and since most hardness is caused by carbonate mineral deposits, hardness is usually reported as parts per million (ppm) of calcium carbonate (by weight). A water supply with a hardness of 100 ppm contains the equivalent of 100 g of CaCO3 in 1 million g of water or 0.1 g in 1 L of water (or 1000 g of water since the density of water is about 1 g/mL).
4 Determination of available chlorine in bleaching powder Bleaching powder is commonly used as a disinfectant. The chlorine present in the bleaching powder gets reduced with time. So, to find the exact quantity of bleaching powder required, the amount of available chlorine in the sample must be found out.
Chlorine will liberate free iodine from potassium iodide solution when its pH is 8 or less. The iodine liberated, which is equivalent to the amount of active chlorine, is titrated with standard sodium thiosulphate solution using starch as indicator.
5 Determination of chloride content in the given water sample by Mohr’s method. Mohr method is one of the significant methods for determination of chloride in water. It is also known as Argentometric method. Chloride ion is a negatively charged ion. This method is appropriate for neutral or slightly alkaline water. Water sample is titrating against standard AgNO3 solution by using potassium chromate indicator. It is a precipitation titration method.
6 Determination of iron content in the given ore by using external indictor To determine the strength of given solution of ferrous ammonium sulphate by titrating against standard N/40 K2Cr2O7 2 using potassium ferricyanideas an external indicator.
7 pH-metric titration Determination of the strength of a given hydrochloric acid solution against a standard sodium hydroxide solution.
8 Determination of Equivalent weight of Iron by the chemical displacement method. The equivalent weight of copper is 63.5 Equivalent weight is defined as the number of parts by a weight of which combines or displace 1.008 parts by weight of hydrogen, 8 parts by weight of oxygen and 35.5 parts by weight of chlorine. The law of equivalents states that one equivalent of a substance reacts with one equivalent of another. One gram equivalent of a substance = ((Mass of substance in gram)/(Equivalent wt. of the substance))
9 Determination of heat of neutralization of Hydrochloric acid and Sodium hydroxide Determination of enthalpy of neutralization of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide.
10 Determination of amount of dissolved oxygen in water The methods described below for the determination of oxygen in water is based on that devised by Winkler. When manganese hydroxide is precipitated in the water sample it is quickly oxidized to higher hydrated oxides (probably in the four valent state) by the dissolve oxygen. Iodine, equivalent to the dissolved oxygen content, is then liberated on acidification in the presence of iodine, and it may be titrated with standard thio‐sulphate.
11 Separation of metal ions by paper chromatography Known and unknown solutions of the metal ions Ag+ , Fe3+, Co2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+ will be analysed using paper chromatography. An unknown solution containing some of these cautions will be identified by comparison to the Rf values and colors of the stained spots of known solutions.
12 Preparation of iodoform from acetone To prepare a pure sample of triiodomethyl (iodoform) from acetone under reflux
13 Preparation of Sodium Cobaltinitrile salt The preparation of sodium hexa nitrocobaltate and the identification of K+ using the prepared solution.
14 Element detection & functional group identification in organic Systematically identify the functional groups in the given organic compound and perform the confirmatory tests after identifying the functional groups

This phenomenon is called Hall Effect. In solid state physics, Hall effect is an important tool to characterize the materials especially semiconductors. It directly determines both the sign and density of charge carriers in a given sample.
11 To determine energy bank gap of a given semiconductor material Band Gap (or energy gap) is an energy difference which an electron should attain to break free of its bounded state.

Workshop

Beginning with the Industrial Revolution era, a workshop may be a room, rooms or building which provides both the area and tools (or machinery) that may be required for the manufacture or repair of manufactured goods. Workshops were the only places of production until the advent of industrialization and the development of larger factories
