Lab Schedule for Chem 116. Spring, 01
Safety goggles must be worn whenever laboratory work is in progress. Goggles that will fit over most prescription glasses are available in the bookstore. Check with your laboratory instructor before purchasing goggles so that you will obtain acceptable ones. Contact lenses should not be worn in the Laboratory.
Safety policy also requires that you wear shoes that cover your feet (no open sandals) and either long pants or a lab apron which protects your legs. In the event of an accident it is far better to spill caustics and acids on clothing than directly on skin.
Any experiments unavoidably missed must be made up within one week. Laboratories not made up will result in a deduction from the laboratory grade. You must have permission from your Teaching Assistant before a lab can be made up. You may make up an experiment in any Chem 116 laboratory, provided that you obtain permission from the TA of that laboratory section. When a laboratory experiment is made-up, turn in the report to the TA in charge who will deliver it to your TA.
Important!! Handouts for Co block and Ferroin Kinetics will be provided to you but Water Quality manual you should purchase from the bookstore.
Before coming to the lab you have to answer prelab questions which will be given to you by your TA
Your TAs are Mahdu Chatrathi (M,W) and Bernie Lorenz (Tu)
