Chemistry 112H/114 Laboratories - Spring 2008

COURSE COORDINATOR:
  Dr. Michael P. Rosynek

Chemistry Bldg. Room 1331

845-3552


MATERIALS NEEDED:

Laboratory Textbook:
  “Microscale and Selected Macroscale Experiments for General and Advanced General Chemistry:  an Innovative Approach,” 1st ed., M.M. Singh, R.M. Pike, and Z. Szafran, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1995).

Laboratory Notebook:
  "The Official Laboratory Research Notebook," Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Inc. (1998).

Safety Goggles:
 

Ventilated, close-fitting laboratory goggles, not merely plastic "safety glasses".



LABORATORY SAFETY:
  • Safety goggles of an approved type must be worn at all times while in the laboratory.  If you forget to bring your goggles to a class meeting, you will not be allowed to work in the laboratory.
  • Closed-toe shoes must be worn while working in the laboratory.  Legs must be covered down to at least knee level.  Shorts are not permitted unless they reach to at least knee level or are covered by a laboratory apron or coat that reaches to at least knee level.
  • Unauthorized experiments are not allowed; chemicals and apparatus may never be removed from the laboratory.
  • Additional safety considerations specific to individual experiments will be presented by your instructor, as required.

More detailed descriptions of required laboratory safety regulations are provided on the linked sheet, Laboratory Safety Regulations (Teaching Laboratories),  and in Chapter 1, "Safety Precautions in the Laboratory" (pp. 1-12) of your laboratory textbook.  This material should be studied prior to your first laboratory class meeting.  You will be expected by your instructor at the first class meeting to be thoroughly familiar and in compliance with the safety practices described in these materials.   This is the "Safety Agreement" that must be signed by all students prior to working in the laboratory for the first time.  A comprehensive description of the Department of Chemistry's laboratory safety regulations is available here.
