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). (or equivalent) (pp. 1-12) of your laboratory textbook.

Safety Goggles:

Ventilated, close-fitting 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.

 

An excellent compilation of best safety practices for first- and second-year university chemistry students is the American Chemical Society publication "Safety in Academic Chemistry Laboratories".  This document should be reviewed prior to your first laboratory meeting.
