GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Laboratory experiments are designed with the intention of being completed during the allotted classroom time. In order to expedite things it is mandatory that you be prepared prior coming to the lab. This includes reading the lab procedure handout thoroughly and understanding the experiments illustrations and techniques. In additional, any applicable calculations (such as solution
preparations) should be made in advance so that work may commence upon arriving in the lab. A flowchart of the experiment methodology is helpful in determining what steps should be taken and the order in which things must be done. In addition, it is important that you familiarize yourself with lab techniques learned in your chemistry classes.
Some experiments may take longer that the others, but the biggest determinant will be your preparation.
ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY!
(A)
Laboratory logbook
You are required to have a logbook. This must be a bound logbook. It is very important to get into a habit of writing a logbook. You are required to translate the procedure of each lab in the lab manual into graphical illustration or flowchart in your logbook before you begin your experiment. Recording in the logbook should be written as the experiment is carried out and should be as brief, but concise, as
