(Medical documentation proof from IIT Delhi hospital is only allowed unless you are out of Delhi)
There will be a common quiz held at the same time for all the groups near the end of the semester at a pre-announced date and
time. Apart from this common one, quizzes/viva will be conducted during the lab periods based on the discretion of the faculty
instructor of that specific group. (The final notification about the quiz schedule will be intimated separately).
The distribution of marks will be as follows:

Common (Major) written quiz (Week 13): 20
(Note: Experiment 10 also will be included in this written test)
Lab Quiz (Individual to every group): 10
Lab performance: 45 (Criteria to be decided by the individual group Instructor)
Each laboratory session will carry 45 marks which will be distributed for maintaining the Lab record in the form of Hand Outs,
results of the experiment, adherence to the lab Safety norms, working approach in the lab, etc. Students coming late by 10
minutes or more may be penalized for up to 10 marks. In some groups faculty members might have quizzes at the beginning
of every lab; hence please pay attention to the instructions to be given by the respective group Instructors.
CMP 100 Lab schedule Time: Moring groups
(9.00 AM to 1.00 PM) and

Basic instructions
* You should be completely familiar with the experiment before beginning it
* Read the experimental details carefully and use the correct safe techniques
demonstrated and discussed by the instructor / lab staff
* The excuse that someone else is responsible for mistakes/ accidents is never
acceptable in a scientific laboratory
* Report any accidents immediately to your instructor or Laboratory staff members.
PPE
Personal Protective Equipment: What
must be worn when you work in the
laboratory.
Eye Protection
Lab Coat
Long Pants
x
Closed Toed Shoes – no exposed skin around feet
Noncompliance with safety protocols will be strictly dealt with and can even
lead to expulsion from the laboratory including the award of F grade.
64
Long hair must be tied back. It is advisable to minimize the use of hair sprays and other hair products,
because they are highly flammable.
x
x
Contact lenses should never be worn in the laboratory.
Be aware of the locations of the safety shower, eyewash station, fire extinguisher, first aid equipment,
and the exits.
Know the hazardous properties of the chemicals you are using. Specific instructions for dealing
with hazardous material will be given by the instructor prior to their use. When in doubt, ask!
Use only the chemicals called for in your experiment. Make sure you know what chemicals
you are looking for. Many chemicals have similar names or formulas. Treat all chemicals as
hazardous.
GHS Symbols
Usage of chemicals
* Flammable liquids and toxic chemicals should be placed in specially marked bottles. Paper,
broken glass etc should be disposed of in the waste disposal containers provided.
Ask Lab staff, if you need any information about disposal of waste
* All chemicals should be considered potentially toxic and so never taste a chemical or solution or
bring eatables into the laboratory. If you are asked to smell a chemical, gently fan the vapors
towards your nose. Wash thoroughly your hands with soap after every lab session before
touching any foodstuff. If any chemical stain remains on your hand, use spoon to eat till the stain
goes off.
Safety Instructions
* Never pipette out using your mouth anything unless otherwise the instructor /
tutor has specifically told you to do so.
x
* Do not lean on the workbench while working.
x
x
* While using ammonia, remember to keep the exhaust fans on.
Safety Instructions
If you have accidentally taken inside your mouth any solution, wash your mouth immediately
with lots of water and contact immediately your instructor or tutor for further help.
If any acid or base falls on your hand, immediately wash with lots of water and contact
your tutor if there is any uneasiness.
Safety Instructions
While heating solutions over the flame make sure that the mouth of the vessel is
not directed towards you or others working nearby.
It is important to ensure that hands are washed and all protective clothing
removed before leaving the laboratory. Also it is your job to ensure that your
workbench is cleaned up and ready for the next group.
Safety Instructions
No “walkmans” and other music devices, no cellular
phones. These are strictly forbidden (No Exception).
Be fully alert on what you are doing and what is going
on around you while working in the laboratory.
Safety Instructions
In all cases of accident or injury, no matter how slight, report to the instructor or Technical laboratory
staff immediately. While the emphasis should be on the prevention of accidents, a high priority is
placed on personal safety in the event of an accident.
Lab Rules
Students coming late by 10 minutes or more may be penalized for up to 10 marks.
Excused Absences (a) serious illness (with medical documentation) (b) Institute-related
trips (with documentation and prior approval from your lab faculty instructor)
(Medical documentation proof from IIT Delhi hospital is only allowed unless you are out of Delhi)
Unexcused absences from the laboratory are not allowed and “make-up” times are not
permitted.
Lab Rules
If you miss five practicals or more without
any valid reason, you will be awarded an ‘F’
grade. Moreover, students who miss the
final CMP100 lab exam will be automatically
given an ‘F’ grade.
Lab Rules
# In some groups faculty members might take quizzes at the
beginning of every lab; hence please pay attention to the
instructions to be given by the respective group Instructors.
# Your instructor may not allow you to perform experiments, if your
behavior is inappropriate.
# If you do not follow lab guidelines, Your instructor can reduce
your marks.
Lab Instruments
•Instruments in CMP100 lab are expensive. Follow the guidelines for the instrumentation.
•Before handling the instruments, please pay complete attention to the lab staff briefing.
•If the instrument is overheating, inform the instructor or lab staff
•Do not touch electrical connections
•Do not spill chemicals on the instruments
•If your instrument has any issues in readings inform the instructor/ Lab staff
Laboratory Handout Booklet:
Graph sheet and TLC plates
will be provided by lab staff
Laboratory Handout Booklet:
# Students are expected to submit the handout related to that experiment to their respective TAs
after completing the experiment and related analysis including calculations and plotting of the
graphs
# On failure to submit the completed lab hand-outs within the lab
hours, students will be penalized for another 5 marks
# The handouts will be graded and the marks will be shown to you during the
next lab turn.
# Please make sure that you keep the handouts with you until the end of the
semester when these need to be turned into to your lab TAs.
Grading
The distribution of marks for the Grading:
Laboratory test (at the end of the semester): 25
Common written quiz (After the 8th Expt.): 20
Lab Quiz (Individual to every group): 10
Lab performance: 45
Each laboratory session will carry 45 marks which will be distributed for maintaining the Lab record in the form of
Hand Outs, results of the experiment, adherence to the lab Safety norms, working approach in the lab, etc.
Grading
# Final grading is not according to Group wise
# Grading is relative
# Uniformity will be maintained at the end
# Grading is according to the performance
in the lab, regular quizzes, practical exam
and major quiz
(Note:
your final grading is based on the group average and average of all group averages). Thus, your grading does
not depend on the coordinator/instructor/TA. It entirely depends on your performance in the lab experiments and quizzes.
