Introductory Note. An experiment in physical chemistry is designed with the aim to illustrate the basic principles in chemistry. Typically, every experiment will be accompanied by its background and underlying theory, detailed experimental procedure and suggestions on methods to analyze the results followed by a brief discussion. Before the laboratory session, please READ the General Laboratory Instruction (▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇/LabManual/fizikal/general-laboratory-instruction-2007.pdf) which provides the basic principles in physical methods. In the General Laboratory Instruction, you will first be introduced to the basic idea of measurements, standards and associated quantitative aspects such as units, dimensionalities, symbols, and uncertainty. This is followed by accuracy, precision, data analysis, error estimation, general equipment and tools, and scientific writing. It intends to give the necessary background discussion which you MUST read before entering the laboratory. It is also important that you continue to practice the advice given here not only during your study but throughout your lifetime as a scientist. Of course, the brief manual is by no means complete. You may refer to a more elaborate introduction on similar subject in most general chemistry textbooks. There are also many sources on the Internet which you can browse through. The physical chemistry experiments designed here are to accompany the physical chemistry lecture courses. Through these experiments you will experience measuring some of the physical properties of interest with known precision. Moreover, they will allow you to understand the concept behind the measurements and how to relate experimental results to the basic concepts in the lecture courses. The quantitative measurements you have made produces numerical values which are subject to error due to many reasons such as the nature of the instrument and how the experiment is designed. Thus, it is equally important to repeat the experimental procedure a few times until the result is consistent. Sometimes the experimental procedure may be varied to check for convergence of the values by different methods. In addition to these, a physical chemist must estimate the value of error in his measurement to get improved accuracy of the measured value compared to a standard value. A good laboratory practice is to process the raw data immediately to get a rough idea of the results of the experiment immediately. By doing so, anything which deviates from expectation may be checked immediately before dismantling the experimental set up. For example, graph should be plotted roughly during the laboratory. Should a linear behavior be expected and some points are found to deviate, then the experiments related to these odd data points may be repeated immediately. Laboratory report should be processed immediately for two obvious reasons. First, if the processed result is unsatisfactory, the experiment may be repeated immediately. Secondly, since the detail information about the experiment is fresh in memory a better report will be produced. **This agreement is applicable for all PHYSICAL AND POLYMER CHEMISTRY Laboratory Classes** In the interest of safety and accident-prevention, there are regulations to be followed by all students in designated Chemistry Laboratories at the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Universiti Malaya (UM).
