VCE Unit 4 Chemistry Quality Control

VCE Chemistry, Unit 4 Outcome 2

Students undertake a major laboratory program at school and practical application at VSSEC

Based on the 2024-2027 VCAA study design and advice from VCAA’s science lead, we have chosen to create an investigation that focuses on function and analysis of FTIR, GCMS and HPLC. We have developed this unit to align with the following Areas of Study and Outcomes:

The schedule for the day will have 3 sessions as follows:

  1. FTIR qualitive identification of function groups – students use a range of chemicals to identify the functional groups of known chemicals culminating in the identification of the identity of a chemical using functional groups
  2. GCMS quantification of biodiesel contamination in aviation fuel – students determine the levels of contamination in premade samples using the GC component, and identification of the peaks using the MS component
  3. HPLC quantification of ASA content of analgesic tablets – students determine the amount of ASA present in samples of tablets of aspirin.
  • NOTE: SMALL class groups less than 10 students may  be accommodated even though date is blocked, to enquire
