In the organic chemistry laboratory you have the opportunity to see firsthand some of the relationships discussed in lecture as well as to become familiar with many of the laboratory practices and techniques that are used in the preparation, isolation, purification, and identification of organic compounds. Successful completion of the experiments during the laboratory period will require some previous planning. You should read the experiment, review basic concepts, and make a plan for the day before the laboratory period. A listing of the experiments and helpful hints are listed in the syllabus . Your plan will be written in the laboratory notebook before coming to the laboratory.
All entries are to be in ink.
The first five pages will be reserved for a table of contents. The first seven items must be completed before coming to the laboratory. Xerox copies of literature information may not be added. However, copies of actual data generated by you may be taped in the notebook. Make sure it is properly labeled and clearly identified.
