Future projects will introduce additional skills and more complex laboratory methods. As you work through projects this semester, you should think about the purpose of each technique in terms of three major categories:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 40px;\">1) <strong>Processing<\/strong> techniques are those that are used to initiate and\/or achieve some change in a sample. For example, processing techniques may be used to extract materials or to carry out a chemical reaction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 40px;\">2) <strong>Separation<\/strong> techniques are used to purify the components of a mixture to some degree. Some separation techniques, such as filtration, are intended only to remove major components of a mixture and yield a mixture of compounds. Other separation techniques are true purification methods in that they are intended to yield a sample that consists of a single compound.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 40px;\">3) <strong>Characterization<\/strong> techniques are analytical methods that provide information about a sample. For organic chemists, the term \u201ccharacterization\u201d generally describes the process of gathering evidence to determine or verify the structure of a compound.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Learning Objectives<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 200px; text-align: left;\">\u2022 Set up and employ a reflux apparatus<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 200px; text-align: left;\">\u2022 Perform a vacuum filtration<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 200px; text-align: left;\">\u2022 Purify a solid by recrystallization<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 200px; text-align: left;\">\u2022 Remove an organic solvent by rotary evaporation<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 200px; text-align: left;\">\u2022 Measure and analyze the melting point of a solid<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 200px; text-align: left;\">\u2022 Obtain and analyze an infrared (IR) spectrum<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;\"><strong>Project 1 Score Distribution<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Workshop: Melting Point Analysis\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a05%<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Proficiency Quiz: Recrystallization &amp; Melting Points\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a010%<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Workshop: Infrared Spectroscopy\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a010%<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Proficiency Quiz: Infrared Spectroscopy\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a010%<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Project 1 Prelab Quiz\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a05%<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Lab Notebook 1\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a060%<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Overview Click here to download a copy of the Lab Notebook Template for Project 1.\u00a0 Laboratory work for Project 1 will be completed in pairs.
