CHEM 132 LABORATORY

Spring 2005

 

This course is designed to acquaint the student with elementary procedures and techniques encountered in the chemical laboratory.  The experiments have been chosen to illustrate these techniques and to supplement lecture material.

 

 

Required Text: "Experiments in General Chemistry ", Greco, Prentice Hall:  New Jersey, 2002.

 

The laboratory text and safety glasses/goggles are available in the bookstore.

 

Laboratory Vouchers should also be paid in the bookstore during the first two weeks of classes. The Laboratory Voucher covers the cost of chemicals and other consumable items used in the course.  Failure to obtain a voucher will lead to administrative course withdrawal.

 

 

Departmental Requirements:

 

1.       In order to maintain a safe environment for the student and instructor, no one will be permitted to remain in the laboratory without some form of eye protection.  Further, the student is expected to be familiar with departmental safety requirements.

 

2.      Two unexcused absences will result in an "F" in the course.  Each instructor will determine what constitutes an excused absence.  Excuses must be obtained from the laboratory instructor.  In the event of a conflict caused by a University sponsored extra-curricular activity, it is the student's responsibility to make satisfactory arrangements with the instructor prior to the conflict.
