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

A carbonless copy of each lab report is due by 10:10 am Wednesday following the
completion of each experiment; the lab report carbonless copy will be returned
the following Monday at 11:05 am and 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
10:10 am Wednesday following the
completion of each spectral analysis experiment and will be returned the
following
Monday at 11:05 am.
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 times, and will cover
laboratory reactions and mechanisms, experimental procedures and techniques, and
background material.
8:00 Tuesday lab - December 13 - Monday - 8:00-10:00 am
12:45 Tuesday lab - December 15 - Wednesday - 10:30 am-12:30 pm
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.
·
Alarms:
In case of an alarm occurring while class (lecture or lab) is in progress and
more than 5 minutes of class time is remaining, students will leave the building
in an orderly fashion and meet at a preordained place in 5 minutes when roll
will be called and class will continue.

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 lab must also withdraw from
organic lecture. Students must obtain the instructor's signature to withdraw from
CHEM 3510/3511 after the "APSU Automatic W Deadline" date.
APSU Automatic W - June 11 - Friday
Dr. Matthews' Auto W - June 17 - Thursday
APSU Mandatory F - June 18 - Friday
NOTE: Dr. Matthews will not be available after 12:30 pm, Thursday, June 17.

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.
·
Alarms:
In case of an alarm occurring while class (lecture or lab) is in progress and
more than 5 minutes of class time is remaining, students will leave the building
in an orderly fashion and meet at a preordained place in 5 minutes when roll
will be called and class will continue.

·
Other Required Materials:
Students will be required to purchase two hard-covered 1"
three-ring binders (one for the spectral data and one for returned lab report
carbonless copies), 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 carbonless copy of each lab report is due at 8:00 am on the day following the
completion of each experiment; the lab report carbonless copy will be returned
prior to the due date of the next lab report and 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 and current semester of
study (e.g. Summer II - 200#) must be on the outside front cover of the
three-ring binder. The spectral binder is due at 8:00 am on the day following the
completion of each spectral analysis experiment; the spectral binder will be returned
prior to the due date of the next lab report and should be retained by the student.
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 10 - 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.
