Organic Chemistry I Laboratory Experiments For Chemistry 221

The application of experimental techniques for solving chemical problems is essential for a full appreciation of chemistry and for science in general. Success in the lab requires careful preparation - you must read the experiment and complete each pre-lab assignment prior to coming to the lab.

The objectives of laboratory sessions provide learners experience to work safely and comfortably in the lab; gain experience of executing basic laboratory techniques and using modern instrumental methods.; make careful qualitative observations and obtain reproduceable quantitative data; and maintain an accurate record of experimental lab work.

This lab manual is organized and written to ensure that non-science majors are comfortable with chemistry labs by making the experiments more applicable to students' daily lives. This approach also serves to make the experiments more understandable. Many labs relate specifically to allied health fields.

This General, Organic and Biochemistry text has been written for students preparing for careers in health-related fields such as nursing, dental hygiene, nutrition, medical technology and occupational therapy. It is also suited for students majoring in other fields where it is important to have an understanding of the basics of chemistry. An integrated approach is employed in which related general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry topics are presented in adjacent chapters. This approach helps students see the strong connections that exist between these three branches of chemistry, and allows instructors to discuss these, interrelationships while the material is still fresh in students' minds.

This cutting-edge lab manual takes a multiscale approach, presenting both micro, semi-micro, and macroscale techniques. The manual is easy to navigate with all relevant techniques found as they are needed. Cutting-edge subjects such as HPLC, bioorganic chemistry, multistep synthesis, and more are presented in a clear and engaging fashion.
