| These experiments are distributed online as a service to our students and faculty. They are designed only for use in our laboratories, under an appropriate level of supervision by qualified chemistry faculty. Appropriate safety training and proper disposal of chemical waste is assumed. Other users of the information posted on this site assume all responsibility. |
This laboratory course accompanies the second semester of general chemistry. Students
are responsible for the materials in these documents and quizzes may be used to assure
that students are reading this lab manual. You will need Adobe Acrobat
Reader (free download from Adobe web site) to view and print several of the
assigned laboratories below.
 | Introduction to course content and safety issues. |
| Stockroom procedures, how to check-in, how to get equipment and other very important information |
| Safety check-list, you must read this and give a signed statement that you have read it to John Burt (the stockroom manager). |
