·
Objectives:
(1) To introduce the student to organic chemistry laboratory techniques used to
perform reactions, purify organic products, and identify the purity and chemical
identity of products. Students will also learn how to manipulate data for
mathematical calculations of reactant recovery, product yield, and product
purity.
(2) To provide the student with a firm foundation in organic laboratory
techniques so that the student may pursue experimentation in other chemical and
scientific laboratories.
(3) To provide the student with a firm understanding of laboratory safety that
can be used in all future laboratory experiences.
·
Topics to be Covered:
A tentative list of laboratory experiments (Organic
Lab Schedule) will be provided. This list will include experimental
techniques and reactions in which these experimental techniques may be utilized.
Several methods of spectroscopic identification of organic structural analysis
will
be studied.
·
Out of Class Work:
Students are expected to read assignments from the texts prior to class (see
reading assignments on lab experiments). All techniques and experimental
procedures should be thoroughly studied prior to lab. Students must have the
first six items listed below (1-6) written in their lab notebook before coming
to lab class; students will only need to fill in the table of data (6) and
record observations (7) during lab class, and then write the discussion of
results (8) and conclusions (9) sections when the lab experiment is completed.
·
Graded Materials:
A short test will be given at the beginning of each lab period. This quiz will
cover the experiment performed the previous week and the experiment to be
carried out that day (readings from Matthews and Zubrick). Students who arrive
late will not be allowed to take the quiz. There will be no makeup
quizzes, however, students will be allowed to drop their lowest quiz grade.
Each student is required to keep an individual laboratory notebook. Write-ups
should be in either black or blue ink (be consistent) in an approved notebook. All laboratory data must be kept in this notebook (no other note
sheets will be allowed in lab). The format of each experimental write-up should
include the following items:
1) Title, experiment number, and date
2) Purpose
3) Chemical structure / Balanced chemical equation and mechanism (for reaction
experiments)
4) Outline of procedure
5) Diagram of apparatus
6) Tabulated form of all measured data
7) Observations
8) Discussion of results
9) Conclusions
(see Writing
the Lab Notebook for detailed explanations)

completed.
A three-ring binder containing the carbonless copy of each lab report, lab data
sheets, and spectral data sets* are due by 3:00 pm on the day after lab (Wednesday/Friday) following the
completion of each experiment. The student's name, lab section (day of week and
lab start time), and current semester of study (e.g. Fall 200#) must be on the
outside front cover of the three-ring binder in large, readable letters. These will be returned following grading and should be retained by the student in
a second three-ring binder
throughout the remaining portion of the semester.
*Each student is required to submit individual spectral data sets (GLC, GCMS, IR,
PMR, CMR) for lab experiments that include spectral analysis. These must be
submitted in a hard-covered 1" three-ring binder in the order GLC, GCMS,
IR, PMR, CMR (as listed in the lab analysis section of the appropriate
experiment). Submission format for each is listed at the end of the appropriate appendix in
the "Organic Chemistry Laboratory Experiments, Including
Identification Techniques, Spectroscopy, and Supporting Spectral
Data" book. Each experiment's spectral data sets should be separated using
a divider page which is labeled at its edge; in addition, the individual
spectral data sets within each experiment should be separated using labeled
divider pages or "tape flags". The spectral binder is due by
3:00 pm on the day after lab (Wednesday/Friday) following the
completion of each spectral analysis experiment.
Laboratory products are due following the completion of each
experiment and must be properly labeled (see below).
A laboratory exam will be given during the final lab meeting (December 8) and will cover
laboratory reactions and mechanisms, experimental procedures and techniques, and
background material.
Students will be assigned a set of lab desk drawers with equipment for which
they will be responsible from check-in (first lab) to check-out (final lab). Any
broken or missing equipment that must be replaced during the semester will be
subtracted from the student's "Lab equipment" points based on the
current cost of equipment replacement using the most recent Fisher Catalog or
similar equipment catalog currently utilized by the APSU Chemistry Department.
The number of points subtracted from the starting total of 20 points will be
based on the following scale: 1 point = $5.00 current catalog replacement cost.

in an orderly fashion; class will resume 5 minutes after the alarm ends and safe
return is allowed into the building. Class roll
will be called and any student who has not returned at that time will receive an
unexcused absence. If less than 10 minutes (according to classroom clock) of
class time is remaining at the alarm's end, class will be suspended for that
day; if in doubt, return to class.

Course Description:
CHEM 3520 (lecture) and CHEM 3521 (lab) represent a single course and must be
taken concurrently. A course grade, determined using 75% lecture grade and 25%
lab grade, will be assigned at the end of the semester. Students who choose to
repeat organic lecture or lab will be required to repeat both as they represent
corequisites.
·
Laboratory Course Description:
Study of functional groups (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alkyl halides, aromatic
compounds, alcohols and ethers, carbonyl and carboxyl compounds) and their
reactions, structure determination, stereochemistry, and spectroscopy.
· Corequisite: CHEM 3520

·
Other Required Materials:
Students will be required to purchase a set of splash-proof laboratory goggles (approved type are
available in the bookstore).
·
Objectives:
(1) To introduce the student to organic chemistry laboratory techniques used to
perform reactions, purify organic products, and identify the purity and
chemical identity of products. Students will also learn how to manipulate data
for mathematical calculations of reactant recovery, product yield, and product
purity.
(2) To provide the student with a firm foundation in organic laboratory
techniques so that the student may pursue experimentation in other chemical and
scientific laboratories.
(3) To provide the student with a firm understanding of laboratory safety that
can be used in all future laboratory experiences.
·
Topics to be Covered:
A tentative list of laboratory experiments (Organic Lab
Schedule) will be provided that will include experimental techniques and
reactions in which these experimental techniques will be utilized. Several
methods of spectroscopic identification of organic structural analysis may also
be studied this semester.
·
Out of Class Work:
Students are expected to read assignments from the texts prior to class (see
reading assignments on lab experiments). All techniques and experimental
procedures should be thoroughly studied prior to lab.
Students should have their lab notebook prepared (as described in the next
section) before coming to lab class; failure to, at minimum, have the
handwritten outline of procedure completed, will result in the student not being
allowed to attend lab and not being allowed to make up that day's lab work.
Students will only need to fill in the table of data and write out calculations
as the lab experiment progresses; the completed lab report must be turned at the
end of the lab completion day.
·
Graded Materials:
A short test may be given at the beginning of each lab period. Quizzes will
cover the experiment performed the previous day and the experiment to be
carried out that day (readings from ????? and Zubrick). Students who arrive
late will not be allowed to take the quiz.
Each student is required to keep an individual laboratory notebook. Write-ups
must be handwritten in ink in an approved bound
notebook. All laboratory data must be kept in this notebook (no other note
sheets will be allowed in lab). The format of each experimental write-up should
include the following items:
1) Title and date, name(s) and hood number (on all pages)
2) Outline of procedure
3) Balanced chemical equation
4) Complete mechanism
5) Tabulated form of all measured data (beginning on a new page)
6) Calculations
Students should have the first five items (1-5) written in their lab notebook
before coming to lab class; students will not be allowed to attend lab if they
do not have, at minimum, the handwritten outline of procedure completed. While in lab, students will only need to fill in the table of
data (5) and write out calculations (6) as the lab progresses. Following
completion of each lab experiment, the completed lab write-up must be submitted.
Laboratory products are due following the completion of each
experiment and must be properly labeled (see below).
A laboratory exam will be given at the following time, and will cover
laboratory reactions and mechanisms, experimental procedures and techniques,
and background material.
Lab Exam - August 12 - Thursday
Students will be assigned a set of lab desk drawers with equipment for which
they will be responsible from check-in (first lab) to check-out (final lab). Any
broken or missing equipment that must be replaced during the semester will be
subtracted from the student's "Lab equipment" points based on the
current cost of equipment replacement using the most recent Fisher Catalog or
similar equipment catalog currently utilized by the APSU Chemistry Department.
The number of points subtracted from the starting total of 20 points will be
based on the following scale: 1 point = $5.00 current catalog replacement cost.
·

·
Attendance Policy:
Students are expected to be present and on time for all laboratory meetings. No
make-up labs will be permitted for unexcused absences. A student who is absent
and has an acceptable excuse must make-up the laboratory experiment immediately
following their return to classes; this make-up experiment must be performed in
the other organic laboratory section. All excuses for missing lab must be
submitted in writing at the next class (lecture or lab) which the student
attends. A student who accumulates more than one unexcused absence from lab may
be dropped from the course and given a grade of F..
·
Laboratory Behavior:
The laboratory is expected to be a learning environment, therefore it is
expected that students will be quiet, attentive, and courteous. Normal
laboratory rules are followed, including no drinking, eating, smoking (yuck),
horseplay, or yelling is allowed. Students are expected to follow all safety
rules listed on the General Chemistry Safety and Laboratory Rule sheets.
Students must wear safety goggles at all times will in the laboratory (NO
EXCUSES ARE ACCEPTABLE FOR NOT WEARING YOUR SAFETY GOGGLES!!!). Pagers, cell
phones, or other electronic devices must be turned off while students are in
class.
·
Drop/Withdrawal Policy:
Students who choose to withdraw from organic lecture must also withdraw from
organic lab. Students must obtain the instructor's signature to withdraw from
CHEM 3520/3521 after the "APSU Automatic W Deadline" date.
APSU Automatic W - July 22 - Thursday
Dr. Matthews' Automatic W Deadline - July 28 - Wednesday (after 2nd test
returned)
APSU Mandatory F - July 29 - Thursday
NOTE: Dr. Matthews will not be available after 4:30 pm on either Thursday, July
22 nor
July 29.
If one chooses to withdraw from CHEM 3520/3521, the withdrawal becomes effective
immediately after receipt of the "Course Withdrawal" email from the Office of
the Registrar. At that time the withdrawal becomes permanent and the student
will not be allowed to reenroll/continue in the course during the current
semester.
Students are encouraged check on the ramifications of W verses FA grades on
scholarship monies.
·
Academic and Classroom Misconduct:
Students are expected to conduct themselves appropriately at all times. Academic
and classroom misconduct will not be tolerated. Students must read the “Code of
Student Conduct” in the new
