Laboratory Polices and Information:
Lab Reports: Lab reports will be STAPLED and turned in to the instructor. Prelab
reports are due at the start of the lab. Once a lab is complete you will turn in a post lab
and take a quiz over that lab the following lab period.
Quizzes: At the end of each tutorial there will be a quiz over the material from the week
before. The quizzes will cover the experimental techniques used in lab, the procedure,
and the reactions from the lab.
Laboratory Safety: Safety Goggles Must Be Worn in the lab at all times. The rules in lab
will be discussed in the first class period.
Laboratory Notebooks and Reports:
Laboratory notebooks contain a top original copy and a carbon copy. Always tear out the
bottom carbon copy to turn in.
All entries in your notebook should be in ink and legible.
Your notebook should be detailed enough for another person to follow.
Always include name, date, lab number, etc. on the top of every page.
Each new experiment should begin with a new page.
In the lab notebook you should record actual measurements.
Include calculations, yields, and physical observations for your end products.

Write-up Procedures
Pre-Lab consists of sections 1-4.
Post Lab consists of sections 5-8.
Pre labs are to be turned in prior to the start of the experiment.
Post labs are due the following lab period after experiment is complete.
For the Pre Lab write-up (Always include name, date, lab number, etc. on the top of
every page):
1. Main Idea. Write a brief sentence or two describing what you expected to learn or to
accomplish along with a reaction (If applicable).
2. Reaction(s). Include all possible reactions that might occur in the lab for that week.
If there is no reaction then write there are no reactions for this lab.
3. Table of physical constants. Include a Table of Physicals Constants which should
include name of chemicals used or synthesized, MW, mp/bp, density, structure, and any
special hazard/cautionary notes.
4. Prelab questions
Two web sites that will assist in chemical property data collection are listed below.
http://www.chemexper.com/
http://chemfinder.cambridgesoft.com/
Below is a web site for structures which can be used to obtain spectroscopic data
http://www.aist.go.jp/RIODB/SDBS/cgi-bin/direct_frame_top.cgi?lang=eng
For the Post lab write-up (Always include name, date, lab number, etc. on the top of
every page):
5. Data and observations. This is the procedure section. As you perform your lab write
down in your lab book the methods you are doing and data you are obtaining. For any
melting or boiling point that you measure, the literature value should also be reported.
The spectra obtained should be labeled and stapled (IR, NMR, UV) to the back of your
report.
6. Calculations. This section must include all calculations. Be sure to label all
calculations clearly.
7. Conclusions. This is especially important for investigative type experiments. Discuss
results obtained with respect to anticipated findings, any errors that may have caused
your results to deviate from what was expected, and any side reactions that may have
decreased yields. Summarize what you learned. Discuss your data!!!!!!!!
8. Post lab Questions. Answer the post lab questions from the experiment.

Laboratory Safety
1. Wear approved eye protection in the laboratory continuously. This means eye
covering which will protect both against impact and splashes. (If you should get a
chemical in your eye, wash with flowing water from a sink or fountain for 15-30 min.)
2. Perform no unauthorized experiments.
3. In case of fire or accident, call instructor at once. (Note location of fire extinguisher
and safety shower now so that you can use them if needed. Wet towels are very efficient
for smothering fires.)
4. You must go to the infirmary for treatment of cuts, burns, or inhalation of fumes.
(Your instructor will arrange for transportation if needed.)
5. Do not taste anything in the laboratory. (This applies to food as well as chemicals.
Do not use the laboratory as an eating place and do not eat or drink from laboratory
glassware.)
6. Exercise great care in noting the odor of fumes and avoid breathing fumes of any kind.
7. Do not use mouth suction in filling pipettes with chemical reagents. (Use a suction
bulb)
8. Do not force glass tubing into rubber stoppers. (Protect your hands with a towel when
inserting tubing into stoppers.)
9. Confine long hair when in the laboratory. (Also, a laboratory apron is essential when
you are wearing easily combustible clothing. Such an apron affords desirable protection
on all occasions.)
10. No open-toed shoes will be allowed in the laboratory.
11. Never work in the laboratory alone.
12. No smoking or other use of tobacco products in the laboratory.
13. Failure to adhere to rules will result in immediate dismissal from laboratory. I have
read the above rules. I have participated in a safety orientation, and I will observe all of
the safety rules of my chemistry course.
