During the first lab meeting of each section, safety material will be distributed and the class will view a safety film. After reviewing that material and prior to attending the second meeting of your lab section, you must complete a safety quiz. Submit a completed answer sheet to your TA. The quiz is worth 22 points and a passing score is a 20/22. You are encouraged to submit your answers on the day of Lab 1. If you don't pass on your first attempt, you may take it multiple times to improve your score. Students who fail to have a recorded score of 20/22 or better before noon on their lab day (1/31-2/6) will not be allowed to enter the lab rooms to complete Lab #2 and thus will receive a grade of zero for that week.

tutorial The NIST Chemistry WebBook can be a useful source of information for physical constants, spectra, and lots of other valuable information. The site can be especially useful for the organic and physical chemistry students! Sigma-Aldrich chemical supplier has lots of information about chemicals they sell. You should be able to find molecular weight, density, melting and boiling points, etc. Wake Forest University Wake Forest Chemistry Department |
