·
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 may also
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, or balanced chemical equation and mechanism (for reaction
laboratories)
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)

of results (8) and conclusions (9) sections when the lab experiment is
completed.
A carbonless copy of each lab report is due by 3:00 pm Wednesday following the
completion of each experiment. After the lab report carbonless copy is returned,
it should be retained by the student in a 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 by labeled divider
pages or "tape flags". 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. The spectral binder is due by
3:00 pm Wednesday 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 5) 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.

·
Educational Goals:
The general objective of the University is to produce educated men and women
equipped to use their abilities productively and wisely. The curricula of the
University are routes to intellectual maturity and means to be development of
ideas, insights, values, and competencies which form a permanent personal
capacity for thought and action. The University does not claim that it will
develop educated men or women. It does claim it will provide the opportunity and
the favorable conditions for students to construct their own education and to
acquire the means of making self-education the rewarding enterprise of a
lifetime, enabling them to become effective agents of social change.
Given this opportunity at the University in this course, each student should
develop, at an appropriate level:
(1) skills of inquiry, abstract and logical thinking, and critical analysis;
(2) literacy in writing, reading, listening, and speaking;
(3) the ability to understand and use numbers and statistics;
(4) an understanding of the scientific method;
(5) a concentration in a discipline in order to enter a chosen profession,
undertake advanced study, or develop an avocation.
These are the marks of an educated man or woman, and it is the aim of the
University to challenge and assist in their attainment. To this end Austin Peay
State University is committed to the integration of human learning functions and
to an orderly educational sequence.
·
Minor Policy:
According to APSU policy #3:032, minors (defined as those under the age of 18)
are not allowed in classrooms. While recognizing that extenuating circumstances
occur and make it difficult for some students to attend without bringing
children with them on occasion, University policy will be enforced and thus any
request for a child to attend lecture or lab classes will be denied. In
addition, be aware that minors are not allowed in academic labs, computer labs,
science labs, or the library. Further, children cannot be left in halls outside
classrooms. Please be aware that the policy on unattended minors is for the
purpose of ensuring that our classrooms are conducive to learning and for the
safety and protection of minors. For additional information on minors on campus,
contact the Office of Student Affairs in the Morgan University Center.
·
Alarms:
Class (lecture or lab) will be temporarily suspended during a building alarm and
students are expected to leave the building 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.

capacity for thought and action. The University does not claim that it will
develop educated men or women. It does claim it will provide the opportunity
and the favorable conditions for students to construct their own education and
to acquire the means of making self-education the rewarding enterprise of a
lifetime, enabling them to become effective agents of social change.
Given this opportunity at the University in this course, each student should
develop, at an appropriate level:
(1) skills of inquiry, abstract and logical thinking, and critical analysis;
(2) literacy in writing, reading, listening, and speaking;
(3) the ability to understand and use numbers and statistics;
(4) an understanding of the scientific method;
(5) a concentration in a discipline in order to enter a chosen profession,
undertake advanced study, or develop an avocation.
These are the marks of an educated man or woman, and it is the aim of the
University to challenge and assist in their attainment. To this end Austin Peay
State University is committed to the integration of human learning functions
and to an orderly educational sequence.

Minor Policy:
According to APSU policy #3:032, minors (defined as those under the age of 18)
are not allowed in classrooms. While recognizing that extenuating circumstances
occur and make it difficult for some students to attend without bringing
children with them on occasion, University policy will be enforced and thus any
request for a child to attend lecture or lab classes will be denied. In
addition, be aware that minors are not allowed in academic labs, computer labs,
science labs, or the library. Further, children cannot be left in halls outside
classrooms. Please be aware that the policy on unattended minors is for the
purpose of ensuring that our classrooms are conducive to learning and for the
safety and protection of minors. For additional information on minors on campus,
contact the Office of Student Affairs in the Morgan University Center.
·
Alarms:
Class (lecture or lab) will be temporarily suspended during a building alarm and
students are expected to leave the building 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.

three-ring binder (for the lab report
carbonless copies, lab data sheets, and spectral data), a hole punch (or three-hole punch)
and a stapler, and 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 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.
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 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, experiment number, and date
2) Purpose
3) Chemical structure, or balanced chemical equation and mechanism (for
reaction laboratories)
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)
Students must have the first six items (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.
A three-ring binder containing the carbonless copy of each lab report, lab data
sheet, and spectral data sets* are due by the beginning of lab following the
completion of each experiment. These will be returned
the following grading and should be retained by the student in the 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 the 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 by labeled divider
pages or "tape flags". The student's name and current semester of
study (e.g. Summer II - 200#) must be on the outside front cover of the
three-ring binder.
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 9 - 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.
