Table of Contents - Organic Chemistry Laboratory II. CHEM 322 Organic Chemistry Laboratory II: CHEM 322L is an extension of CHEM 321L. CHEM 322L builds from the basic techniques, procedures, and writing to more advanced organic operations. The interactive lab primer is a visual guide to common laboratory techniques. It is useful for 16-18 year old chemistry students as an introduction to working safely in the laboratory. The interactive lab primer is also useful for undergraduate students who need to use and develop many of the presented skills and techniques as part of their course.

  • Use only a bound notebook and always write directly into your lab notebook. Do not write on separate scraps of paper to be added later. This means making sure you always have your notebook when you are in lab.
  • Write legibly using black permanent ink only. Do not use pencil. Ball-point pens are recommended as they do not smear as easily.
  • Correct mistakes by drawing a single line through the error. Do not erase, white-out, or scribble out mistakes. Do not remove pages from your notebook.
  • Include a table of contents at the front of the notebook. Either use the inside flap or the first couple of pages to accommodate a TOC.
  • Use only the front side of each page. Do not write on the back of each page.
  • Use past tense and write in 3rd person to describe what you did. Your entries should indicate what you did in the past, not what you plan to do.
  • You can set up your lab notebook for an experiment ahead of lab, but be sure to record ALLEXPERIMENTAL details in the notebook DURING the time you are in lab. Do not wait to record information after the lab.
  • Record what you actually did in lab. Do not simply copy your lab manual. It is especially important to make note of anything you do that is different or in addition to your lab manual instructions, such as using different amounts of a substance or doing things in a different order.
  • Include all observations and measurements in your lab notebook. Always include units of measurement. These notes should include if a substance changed colors, if a reaction produced bubbles, if a process took longer than expected, the weights/volumes of substances used, etc.
  • Be as detailed and descriptive as possible in all observations as well as titles and headings. For example use 'Preparation of Alum' rather than 'Chemical Synthesis”
  • At the end of each lab, ask yourself, 'Can I recreate this experiment/my results with what I have written down?'
