Chem 100L Vocabulary

The following is a list of vocabulary words, lab equipment and chemical formulas for each
experiment !efore coming into lab each wee", you should read the bac"ground material and
procedure for that wee"#s experiment and write the definition of each vocabulary word in your
noteboo" $this must be handwritten% &ou will be allowed to use your noteboo" $not the lab pac"et
or loose papers% during that wee"#s short qui' (o sharing of noteboo"s will be allowed (ote) no
definition is needed for the lab equipment listed* instead, you should be familiar with what it loo"s
li"e as + may hold up an example during the qui' and as" you to write its name Therefore, a small
s"etch in your noteboo" may be helpful ,"etches of lab equipment can be found on p -. /-0 of
the lab pac"et as well as in the experiment itself 1or 2Chemical 1ormulas3 heading simply write in
your noteboo" the formula corresponding to the name of the substance given, which can be found in
the reading ,ome words are repeated in later experiments so you may need to loo" bac" at old
definitions for these 4lthough the ma5ority of the words can be found in the reading for that
experiment, a few are not defined there 1or these, your textboo" or a dictionary would be helpful
6emember, only your bound lab noteboo" will be allowed on the qui''es $and final exam%
Note: I realize it is sometimes difficult to understand the introductory material if you have not had
that material yet in lecture. Dont feel you must understand every part of the lab before you walk
in; rather think of these assignments as a uick introduction that will actual save time in lab. !lso"
the labs appear here in order as in the packet. #ee the schedule for the actual order of e$periments.
