Summer Laboratory Workshops on Chemical Testing for Senior Secondary School Students

To provide students with more practical opportunities and apprise them of the importance of chemical testing in our daily life, 10 S.5 Chemistry students were nominated by their subject teachers to take part in the "Summer Laboratory Workshops on Chemical Testing" commissioned by Hong Kong Council for Testing and Certification. The 2-hour workshop was held in the Chemistry Laboratory at Hong Kong Baptist University. With the supervision of lecturers and technicians, students successfully determined the Vitamin C content in fresh fruit and commercial tablets by iodometric titration.

為結合理論與實踐，讓同學更了解化學測試於日常生活的重要性，十位修讀化學的中五同學被科任老師推薦，參加由香港檢測和認證局委託香港浸會大學舉辦的「高中生化學測試工作坊」。活動於浸大化學系實驗室進行，歷時兩小時。在講師及技術員的領導下，同學們透過碘量滴定，成功找出檸檬及維生素片裡的維他命C含量。
