Table of Compounds:
This is a list of names as well as important physical (mp or bp, density, solubility in acid, base
and common organic compounds) and chemical properties (acidity, basicity or flammability) of the
compounds used in the experiment. When required for an experiment, this table should
be located at the top of the first left-hand page following your pre-lab discussion notes.
For easy reference during the lab period, the table must be in your notebook rather than
your data binder. So, unless otherwise directed, always put the Table of Compounds
in your notebook
Waste Disposal Instructions:
Most of the compounds that you will encounter in this course are irritants or toxic. To
avoid polluting you, your classmates, and our environment, we must be careful to dispose
of chemical waste properly. Thus, each experiment will provide instructions for disposal
of excess reagents. These instructions should be written in your notebook, at the top of
the right-hand page opposite the table of compounds. Follow these instructions carefully.
Chemical Equations:
When experiments involve chemical reactions, chemical equations for the reactions
should be written using structural formulas of the organic compounds. Equations
should be placed on the right-hand page below the waste disposal instructions.
