Brief Description of Research Conducted in This Lab
INCLUDING POSSIBLE PROBLEMS FOR FIREFIGHTERS WITHIN:
Room 111 generally contains 2 Nitrogen compressed gas cylinders, and one each
of Nitrogen, Argon, Oxygen, and Helium compressed gas cylinders are kept in room 7.
Generally nontoxic chemicals, with only a few flammable solvents (like acetone
and ethanol) are used in 101 and 105. These freshman labs are seldom exposed to
anything more harmful than the typical concentrated and dilute mineral acids in any lab,
and more frquently make use of nontoxic dilute aqueous chemical solutions. Two
nitrogen compressed gas cylinder are sometimes kept in back of room 103.
The Organic undergraduate labs in rooms 102 and 106 make far more use of
mildly toxic to highly flammable organic solids and liquids, in reagent bottles on student
benchtops. Room 7, the Physical Chem Lab, employs only small amounts of generally
nontoxic compounds. The very toxic compounds are generally used in the Advanced
Inorganic Lab in room 111, synthesizing heavy metal salts and organometallic complexes.
