COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is the laboratory to accompany CHEM 1311 lecture. Emphasis is placed on techniques, properties and reactions, and reinforcing principles offered in the lecture portion of the course.
Prerequisites: One year of high school chemistry or CHEM 1305 and CHEM 1105 and MATH1314.
Corequisite: CHEM 1311.
Student Learning Outcomes/Learning Objectives
Students will be able to perform the following skills:
Read NFPA, HMIS labels and understand the hazard of chemicals used
Transfer sample to balance for weighing and tare the balance
Measure temperature with a thermometer
Correctly read a meniscus and accurately measure a liquid volume
Light and adjust Bunsen burners
Correctly use a hot plate
Observe and interpret chemical reactions: color change, temperature change, precipitate formation, and gas evolution
Use capillary tubes to transfer liquid samples used in paper chromatography
Use a buret to perform a standard titration and observe color change to define the end point of the titration
Use centrifuge and decanting techniques to separate solids from liquids
