organic chemistry intro to lab
DESCRIPTION
Introductory course in the principles of organic chemistry and the derivation of these principles from a study of the properties, preparations, and interrelationships of the important classes of organic compoundsTRANSCRIPT
ORGANIC CHM 250 lab-what to expect?By : Dr. Robert D. Craig, Ph.D
In the past-1980’s
• Large text books• Needed to memorize “Reactions of functional
groups and mechanism”
Chemials you are dealing with
• Are ofcourse-are Acids –Bases or Organic!• They have high vapour pressures• They are Flammable
Safety in a car
Safety in the lab
lab coats
• Can be taken off if something spills on You
Accidents could be from some else
Just like a drunken driver
• You are not always the cause-some other lab
Most organic molecules are tearing agents-leave lab when feeling dizzy!
Also –No contact lens!!
No flip flops –when warmer!!
• Proper footwear is imperative-sneakers OK!

Assignments will look like this
Week 2 : 2/6/2012 Prelab Questions: Due 2/6/2012 at the start of the class:• Please watch required video-download sample lab-• Define what is a crystal?• Write an expanded outline for the seven-step process
of crystallization.• *This will be included in the lab report
.
.
• This technique is used for obtaining a compound in pure solid form of well-defined geometrically shaped crystals. This process of crystallization can be used for the purification of a compound only when the compound and the impurities present in it differ considerably in their solubilities in any particular solvent
Digimelt apparatus
Chapter 4: Melting point- Please watch required video in portal
• 3.) (3 sentences) Why are melting points
recorded?• Review operation of “Digimelt apparatus”*This will be included in the lab report
