related to textiles
• Learn about various hydroxyl and carbonyl
compound
• Gather knowledge about liquid solution and
viscosity.
• Learn about
electrochemistry, photochemistry, petroleum & carbohydrates
Course outline
Chemical Bonding: Electronic theory of chemical bond, nature of
covalent bond, H-bonding, Van-der-waals forces, hydrophobic interaction and
bond multiplicity.
Hydroxyl and Carbonyl
Compounds: Alcohols, phenols,
aldehydes and ketones.
Liquids and Solutions: Surface tension: Surface tension of a liquid; Determination of
surface tension of liquid by capillary tube method, excess pressure inside a
curved film, Molecular forces of cohesion and adhesion, Molecular range, sphere
of influence, surface tension and free energy of a surface, capillarity and the
angle of content.
Viscosity: Liquid flow &
viscosity; Co-efficient of viscosity, relative viscosity and absolute
viscosity; Determination of Co-efficient of viscosity of liquid by poisculle's
method, Relation between temperature and viscosity. Stream line motion,
turbulent motion, velocity gradient, poiscuille's formula, osmosis and osmotic
pressure, determination of osmotic pressure, colloidal solution and their
preparation, coagulation and adsorption.
Electro-chemistry: Laws of electrolysis, conductivity,
ionization, pH scale and determination of pH, buffer solution.
Photochemistry: Laws of photochemistry, Quantum yield,
Fluorescence and phosphorescence, luminescence and chemiluminescence.
Petroleum: Constituents of petroleum (open chain
and ring compound), Brief discussion on petroleum distillation and the product
obtained by fractional distillation, conversion processes in petroleum refining
(cracking, reforming, polymerization, alkylation, hydrogenation, isomerization,
and chlorination).
Aromatic Hydrocarbon: Pyrolysis
of coal and coal tar fractionation, benzene substitution reactions in
referenceto various chemical classes of dye-stuff intermediates
viz.,Sulfonation, Nitration, Animation by reduction and by ammonolysis, halogenations, oxidation, alkylation,
carboxylation, Addition and condensation reactions (Fridel-crafts)
Carbohydrates: Mono, di- and polysaccharides, elements of structure of glucose,
cellulose and starch with emphasis on the chemistry of cellulose and its
degradation products.
