Feel free to examine the syllabus for CHEM 0201-0LB Organic Chemistry I Lab (R 8:15 - 11:05), or to look at the schedule of labs.

In the organic chemistry laboratory, students will learn basic organic laboratory techniques, perform reactions that are being studied in class, and learn basic analytical techniques used to help identify molecules.

Handouts for the lab activities are available in "PDF" format. The links to the PDFs are on the lab schedule. If you wish to download a PDF, right click and hold (or two finger tap) on the links on the schedule, and select save to disk.

A handout describing the format for a formal "experimental" report for this laboratory. Refer to each laboratory activity handout to determine if an "experimental" is required for the activity. The Experimental Section of a journal article is where the author describes how the experiments relevant to the journal article were conducted. Chemists often refer to the writing that appears in this section as an "experimental".
