| The
lab sessions are on Mondays from 11:20 AM - 4:10 PM in McGowan South 326.
Welcome to the CHE 321 Intermediate Inorganic Chemistry Lab course! This laboratory course emphasizes the synthesis and characterization of inorganic compounds. Lab course topics include the chemistry of main group elements and metal ligand compounds of general and biological interest, molecular orbital theory, and group theory. ANNOUNCEMENTS: ONLINE SAFETY TRAINING Safety Office has developed an online-version of the Lab Safety Training for students. You must complete this training by 11:00 AM on September 14, 2009 in order to be allowed to conduct the experiments for the course. Please click HERE to access the online training. You will need to use your Campus Connection ID and password to log in. During the first week of lab, you must submit a print-out that documents your passing grade for the safety training. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. All work on which you wish to be graded should be your own. University policies on academic integrity will be strictly adhered to. Consult the DePaul University Student Handbook (http://sr.depaul.edu/catalog/catalogfiles/Current/Undergraduate%20Student%20Handbook/ch1.html) or the Academic Integrity Policy (http://academicintegrity.depaul.edu/AcademicIntegrityPolicy.pdf) for further details. It is acceptable for you to paraphrase information from a source, however, several of you are doing so incorrectly. Paraphrasing is not copying a sentence and changing a word or two; this is plagiarism. In general, when you paraphrase you should read a paragraph, close your book, then write what you just read in your own words. It would be better for you to not write a section of your report and have points deducted than for you to paraphrase or cite a reference incorrectly and get reported to the Office of Academic Integrity. LABORATORY ETIQUETTE You must come to each lab prepared to conduct your experiments. This includes having your pre-lab assignment for the day written in your lab notebook. Before the lab starts, your lab instructor or TA will check that you have the required information in your lab notebook (see the lab syllabus and guidelines); you will not be allowed to enter the lab without it. You may not be given time beyond the scheduled lab period to complete your experiment because you did not come prepared. You are a safety hazard to yourself and to others in the lab if you mix the wrong reagents for your experiment. You must pay attention to the whole names of the chemicals that you plan to use for each step of your experiment, and you should use only the amounts of reagents required. A small excess of reagents will be provided to each lab section; when these amounts have been used up, more will not be provided. At the end of each lab period, you are required to clean thoroughly your glassware and bench space. You must never place dirty glassware in the oven; to do so is a safety hazard because the next person to open the door to the hot oven will inhale vapors of the chemicals left on the glassware. If you have a difficult time cleaning your glassware, please ask your lab instructor or TA for assistance. BUILDING EVACUATION PLAN Although we rarely need to evacuate McGowan South, an accident may occur that would require us to do so. If your lab section must evacuate the building during your laboratory period, please use the northwest stairs (turn left when you exit McGowan South 326) to exit the building. Our meeting location will be in front of Munroe Hall, which is across Clifton Avenue from the McGowan buildings. Please go to this specific location so that your laboratory instructor and TA will know that you made it out of the building safely. LAB GUIDELINES The lab guidelines can be downloaded by clicking on the link above. You are expected to have read the guidelines before your first lab experiment starts. For guidelines to writing a well-written laboratory report, click HERE. ABSENCE FROM LAB Attendance in lab is mandatory. The lab period will begin and end promptly. You will need to budget your time carefully to complete experiments successfully in the time allotted. Due to the nature of the lab experiments, additional time outside the lab period may be given for some experimental work. |
