GUEST LECTURE

The department of chemistry has organized a guest lecture ‘The Basic Concepts in Stereochemistry’.                                                      

Resource person: Dr.C.V.Nageswara Rao garu

                                      Professor, NRI institute of technology,

                                      Agiripalli.      

Purpose of the programme:

•  To gain fundamental understanding of the basic concepts of stereochemistry and the associated terminology.

Outcomes of the programme:

•      It was an interactive and demonstrative guest lecture.

• Concepts were explained by showing various models.

• Explained the significance and role of Stereochemistry in our daily life by giving real examples.

• Explained the basic concepts and terminology like Symmetry, Asymmetry, Dissymmetry, Enantiomers & Diastereomers, differences between d,l- forms & D,L-forms, Chiral carbon and E-Z isomerism etc,.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Certificate course (2013-2014)

  Instrumental methods of chemical analysis

  The department of chemistry, Maris Stella College, Vijayawada has organized a UGC sponsored job oriented certificate course “Instrumental methods of chemical analysis” from 26-11-2013 to 19-01-2014 in association with R.V.Labs, Guntur.
            Hands on training is given to a group of 33 students from B.Sc (MPC,CBZ,Bio Tech)  programme on chromatographic techniques like Paper chromatography (PC), Thin layer chromatography (TLC), High performance chromatography (HPLC), Gas chromatography(GC) and UV-Visible spectrophotometry. In addition to these, the students are trained in physico-chemical analysis of water, microbial studies of certain water samples and food analysis.
