The Department of Chemistry at the College of Science, University of Kerbala, organized a training course titled “How to Identify Chemical Compounds Using Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy.” The event was attended by students and department staff.
The course aimed to introduce participants to the concept of Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy and its significance in detecting functional groups in chemical compounds. It also provided an overview of how the spectrometer operates, sample preparation methods, and result analysis.
The course covered several key topics, including an introduction to IR spectroscopy, its position in the electromagnetic spectrum, the working mechanism of the IR spectrometer, sample preparation steps, and result interpretation. The sessions included educational videos and a practical laboratory tour in the department’s service lab, where participants
