b. 7.295,7.284,7.388,7.292
Calibration Methods
A common procedure for protein determination is the dye-binding assay of Bradford. In this method, a dye bonds
to the protein and, as a consequence, the color of the dye changes from brown to blue. The amount of blue
color is proportional to the amount of protein present:

The following three experiments may be performed in any order, since there is insufficient instrumentation to permit
all students to perform the same experiment simultaneously. One experiment will be due one each due date, but it
can be any one of the three.
Gravimetric Determination of Tin in Brass

42-43

Equivalent Weight of a Solid Acid

Feb. 11
Feb. 25

Determination of Copper in ore

451-454

March 11

The following two experiments may be performed in any order, since there is insufficient instrumentation to permit
all students to perform the same experiment simultaneously. One experiment will be due on each due date.
Determination of Iron in Vitamins

March 30

Determination of Ca in Powdered Milk

April 20

Determination of Alcohol in Wine

May 4

*Check-Out

May 21

A penalty of 2 points per working day (Mon-Fri.) will be subtracted for each day an experiment is late
NO EXTRA LABORATORY WORKING TIME WILL BE PERMITTED.
You are expected to organize your time and work accurately and efficiently. Labs missed due to illness or other
special circumstances may be made up by special arrangement with the instructor.
*You must check-out of your locker by the end of the semester or your records will be placed on administrative hold.

Chemistry 205
Quantitative Analysis Laboratory Regulations
1.

EXPERIMENTS All experiments must be carried out in the assigned laboratory time. NO EXTRA
LABORATORY WORKING TIME WILL BE PERMITTED . You are expected to organize your time
and work accurately and efficiently Labs missed due to illness or other special circumstances may
be made up by special arrangement with the instructor.

2. SAFETY Each student in the Chem. 205 lab must thoroughly read and understand the material presented in
the required Safety for People and Chemicals by Spencer & Garcia. Safety for People and Safety for
Chemicals quizzes will be given in the second day of lab during the quiz section. You may not miss more
than 3 questions on the Safety for People quiz and no more than 6 questions on the Safety for Chemicals quiz.
If you do not receive satisfactory scores on both quizzes, you will be allowed to retake each quiz once. If
you do not get a satisfactory score after retaking a quiz, you will receive an F grade for the lab portion of the
course. If you choose not to drop the class and remain, knowing that the lab grade and the course grade will
be an F, you will not be allowed to do any experiments.

3. LOCKER RESPONSIBILITY Each Chem. 205 student will be assigned a locker and its key. Once a locker is
assigned, the key and locker contents become the responsibility of the student. You will be charged for any
broken glassware or equipment.

4. COMMUNITY LOCKER RESPONSIBILITY The community locker contains items of equipment that are not found
in a students assigned locker. These items are shared among Chem. 205 students with lockers in the same
vicinity. You may use these items during a lab, but they must be returned to the community locker before you
leave the laboratory. If any of these items are found in your assigned drawer, the item will be removed and
you will be fined.

5. LABORATORY NOTE BOOKS:

a. Lab Books must contain a table of contents
b. Each experiment must be titled with a brief discussion about the technique used in the analysis.
c. You must also include: (1) All data, (2) Observations, (3) Equations, and (5) Calculations (6)
Graphs, to be included with the calculations
d. All procedures must be pre-approved/signed-off by the instructor before lab work is
preformed. At the end of each lab day you must have your data sheet initial by your instructor.
Failure to do this will result in no credit for your experiment.
SEE Lab Book Handout
6. LATE REPORTS: Experiments must be turned in by the beginning of the lecture on the scheduled due
date. A penalty of 2 points per working day (Mon-Fri.) will be subtracted for each day an
experiment is late.
7. A grade of 30% will be the lowest grade given for faithfully performed, completed, and reported
experiments (unless additional points are deducted for reasons other than accuracy).

8. A grade of zero will be given for any experiment, which is not completed.
9. RECALCULATIONS: Only one recalculation will be permitted on an experiment and then only if an
obvious mathematical error exists. Five points will be deducted for each recalculation occurring.
The grade for the recalculated experiment will stand, whether higher or lower than the first grade.
10. If a low grade is received on an experiment, it may be repeated once on a new sample. However,
the maximum obtainable grade on a repeated experiment will be 80%. The higher of the two grades
will stand.
11. LABORATORY GRADING SCALE:

i. Laboratory Book 10% (10 points)

ii. Precision
20% (20 points)
iii. Accuracy
70% (70 points)

12. DROPPING THE LAB You must check in your locker to officially drop the Chem. 205 class. This involves
checking into your locker during your regularly scheduled lab period. If this is not possible, the stockroom
will check you in for a fee by making an appointment with them at (562) 860-2451 extension 2695. An
administrative hold will be placed on your records if you fail to check-in and pay any debt owed to the
stockroom by Thursday of final exam week.

The Laboratory Record Book

A. PURPOSE

An original laboratory Record Book is used as an accurate, chronological, and permanent record of work
done in the lab.

B. NOTEBOOK

The notebook must be a BOUND Record Book. A loose-leaf notebook is not acceptable.
C. CONTENTS

Include in your Lab Book the following:

1. A table of contents on the first inside page.
2. Page numbers are to be located at the upper outer corner of the
page.
3. Each experiment should have six parts (in an outline format):
a. Title
b.Method
c. Applicable equations
d.Procedure
e. Data
f. Unknown number
g. Graphs, if applicable (each taped to its own page-graph must be taped completely around all
edges)
h.Calculations
i. Summary
D. RULES

3.
4.
5.
6.

All procedure must be pre-approved/ signed-off by the instructor BEFORE lab work is preformed.
Record ALL WORK directly in the lab book at the time the work is performed. DO NOT write on
other paper for later transfer to the lab notebook. Doing so will result in no credit for the work
performed.
Record your entries in blue or black ink. Pencil is unacceptable. If a mistake is made, it should never
be erased or obliterated. Instead, cross it out with a single horizontal line. Also, numbers should
never be written over.
Entries should be well labeled. A series of Mn calculations should be labeled "Calculation of % Mn",
for example.
Graphs, charts, photographs, and /or charts must be attached (completely taped-in) when
applicable.
Each notebook page should be dated and signed by your instructor at the end of each day. Failure
to do so will result in no credit for your work.
DO NOT remove pages from the lab book. Draw a diagonal line through any page that will not be
used or partially unused.
