You will also learn the techniques needed for separating and purifying organic compounds ... Besides good laboratory technique and the methods of carrying out basic laboratory procedures, other things you will learn from this laboratory course are: How to take data carefully, How to record relevant observations, How to use your time effectively, How to assess the efficiency of your experimental method, How to plan for the isolation and purification of the substance you prepare, How to work safely, How to solve problems and think like a chemist ... In the traditional approach to teaching this subject (called macroscale), the quantities of chemicals used were on the order to 5-100 grams. The approach used in this textbook, a small-scale approach, differs from the traditional laboratory in that nearly all of the experiments use smaller amounts of chemicals (1-10 grams). However, the glassware and methods used in small-scale experiments are identical to the glassware and methods used in standard-scale experiments.-Introd ER -
