Experiment on Isolating a Neutral Compound from a Mixture Containing an Acid Impurity
CHM456
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 1 LABORATORY
Contact hours: 3 hours/week
Laboratory textbook: Pavia, Lampman, Kriz and Engel, Introduction to Organic Laboratoy Techniques 3rd Edition (2011)
** Students MUST obtain a copy of the textbook
Synopsis
This is an organic chemistry practical course which reinforce the theory and concepts studied in Organic Chemistry 1 (CHM456). It covers the learning of simple laboratory techniques such as reflux, distillation, extraction, crystallization and melting point determination, preparations of organic compound and separation of mixtures.
The Techniques
Students are REQUIRED to read and understand the various techniques that will be covered in the laboratory sessions from the textbook. | Techniques | Page | 1 | Laboratory Safety | 6 | 2 | Laboratory Glassware | 31 | 3 | Measurement of Volume and Weight | 39 | 4 | Heating and Cooling Methods | 58 | 5 | Reaction methods (eg: distillation, reflux) | 68 | 6 | Filtration | 90 | 7 | Physical Constants of Solids: The Melting Point | 103 | 8 | Crystallization: Purification of Solids | 122 | 9 | Extractions, Separations and Drying Agents | 141 | 10 | Simple Distillation | 179 | 11 | Thin Layer Chromatography | 261 |
Laboratory Note Book
Do not come into a laboratory unprepared. Read and understand the experiments ahead of time; no more reading should be done during lab session. If you do not do this, you will be unable to plan and use your time efficiently. There are several lab techniques that you need to read on your own for each lab session for example distillation, extraction, crystallization etc. They are self-explanatory and if you are unclear about something always consult the lecturer. Students must write/draw a brief outline/flowchart of the procedure of the experiment before coming to the lab. Your note book will be checked by your lecturer for assessment.
