CH 101 Lab Schedule for Courses with 14 Lab Sessions Spring 2014 This schedule is valid until notified otherwise. Important information: The order of labs as listed below may not be changed. There are no make-up labs. Students and faculty are REQUIRED to wear lab aprons/coats and safety glasses when performing ALL experiments, even those involving only glassware and water. The lab final exam is given to all CH 101 labs. Please do NOT show or go over the lab final with your students after they have taken it, or allow then to take it home at any time. Laminated copies and extra paper copies of the Periodic Table, Table 4.1 (the Solubility Rules), and Table 10.1 (Molecular Shapes and VSEPR), graph paper, rulers and colored pencils may be found in the bookshelves in the balance room. If you would like anything else please let me know. ACS Final Exam : All sections of CH 101 will take the American Chemical Society’s standardized exam for first semester freshmen general chemistry during the last week of the semester. The exam requires 2 hours of time, so if your lecture sections are not two hours in length, plan to give the exam during lab time the last week/meeting of the semester. Please be sure to include that information in your syllabus, so students will plan to take the exam during lab. Lab Lab Experiment/Activity Lab 1 Introduction to Lab Safety FCC Student Safety Policies and Procedures Student Locker Check-In The International System of Units The Metric System Cart(s): Cart with supplies for re-stocking student lockers Cart with meter sticks, gram weights, and one liter graduated cylinders for metric system demos Please show students where the lab final exam study guide is in their lab manual on the first day of lab and remind them several times during the semester. During the first two lab sessions, introduce/review significant figures, SI units, the metric system, graphing, use of equations, accuracy, precision, the balance, writing a lab report, and general laboratory equipment. Lab 2 Lab Safety Wrap-Up & Student Safety Agreement Density of Elements, Compounds and Solutions Cart(s): Cart with supplies for re-stocking student drawers Cart for Density of Elements, Compounds and Solutions Students are REQUIRED (as are faculty) to wear lab aprons/coats and safety glasses when performing ALL experiments, even those involving only glassware and water. Lab 3 Moles and Molarity Cart(s): Cart for Moles and Molarity Lab
The focus of this lab is mainly to practice calculations associated with converting between mass and moles and preparing molar solutions. This lab also provides students with the hands-on opportunity to prepare various molar solutions if desired. Lab 4 The Conductivity of Aqueous Solutions Cart(s): Cart for The Conductivity of Aqueous Solutions This builds on concepts presented in the Moles and Molarity lab as well as introduces the concepts of electrolytes. Students perform calculations, prepare solutions, and run conductivity tests on the solutions. Lab 5 Ionic Precipitation Reactions - DO NOT DO THE REACTIONS USING NH 4 OH IF THERE ARE NO HOODS Cart(s): Cart for Ionic Precipitation Reactions in Aqueous Solutions Please do not do the reactions using ammonium hydroxide if the students do not have access to chemical fume hoods. Students learn how to use a solubility table. They should use the table to analyze the reactions they will performing. Prior to performing the reactions students should record their hypotheses in the results section. Once they have completed their reactions, they should write the complete molecular, complete ionic and net ionic reactions for each reaction that formed a precipitate. Labs 6 & 7 Acid-Base Neutralization Reactions-An Introduction to pH and Titration – Two Lab Experiment Cart(s): Cart for Acid-Base Neutralization Reactions-An Introduction to Titration This experiment is spread out over two lab periods. Hopefully there will be time after students have completed the Intro to pH lab to perform one or two titrations. The second lab of the acid-base lab will be dedicated to doing titrations with monoprotic and diprotic acids. This second set of titrations should be performed with greater care, awareness of technique and the purpose of acid-base neutralization reactions. Lab 8 Stoichiometry - Can You Make 2.00 Grams? - Two Lab Experiment Cart(s): Cart for Stoichiometry - Can You Make 2.00 Grams of a Compound? The Flinn Scientific Stoichiometry experiment is spread out over two lab periods. The experiment is performed during the first lab period. Students will need to air dry their products until the second lab before determining their actual yields. Please teach/review stoichiometry, precipitation reactions, limiting reagent, theoretical yield, percent yield, and percent error. Students seem to enjoy choosing their own set of reactants if given the list of available reactants. Lab 9 Thermochemistry of Acid-Base Neutralization Reactions – Two Lab Experiment Stoichiometry - Can You Make 2.00 Grams? (continued) - Two Lab Experiment Cart(s): Cart for Thermochemistry of Acid-Base Neutralization Reactions Cart for Stoichiometry - Can You Make 2.00 Grams of a Compound? Thermochemistry is spread over two lab periods. This lab introduces thermochemistry and calorimetry and reviews titrations, acid-base reactions and density. It is given two lab periods to allow flexibility for performing lab experiments and companion calculations. It is recommended that all experiments for a given acid be performed in the same lab period, to insure consistency of results for that acid. Students
should hand-graph their experimental results. Graph paper, rulers and colored pencils are available on the shelves in the balance room. Lab 10 Thermochemistry of Acid-Base Neutralization Reactions (continued) - Two Lab Experiment Cart(s): Cart for Thermochemistry of Acid-Base Neutralization Reactions . Labs 11 & 12 Quantitative Determination of Food Dyes – Two Lab Experiment Cart(s): Cart for Quantitative Determination of Food Dyes This Flinn Scientific experiment is spread out over three lab periods to allow sufficient time to cover background information, perform the experiment, graph the results and do the calculations. Lab 13 Molecular Shapes, VSEPR Theory and Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals Lab Final Exam Review as needed Student Locker Check-Out Cart(s): Cart with supplies for re-stocking student lockers Model Kits: These may be found in a rolling suitcase in the balance room. Be sure your students learn how to use Table 10.1 while doing the molecular shapes lab Please remind your students to take their safety gear with them. The review sheet for the lab final may be found in the lab manual. Lab 14 Lab Final Exam this is the last lab for the semester Lab 15 ACS Standardized Exam – use the scheduled lab time this week instead of lecture if your lecture time does not provide the two hour block needed to give this exam. Thank you for all your hard work!!
