Y13 Visit Sheffield Hallam University

Y13 Chemistry students visited Sheffield Hallam University’s outreach labs this week. They synthesised cyclohexene from cyclohexanol, purified and analysed their samples.

It is an excellent opportunity for students to use university level equipment not available to schools such as their own fume cupboards, stirrer-hot plates, rotary evaporators, IR and NMR machines.

Students had a great morning doing their synthesis, and then took part in a sample lecture and a campus tour in the afternoon. The university will soon send over the NMR spectra in lesson and the students will be analysing these and checking the purity of their samples.

Well done everyone!
