CHEM A106L - General Chemistry II Lab

General Chemistry II Lab is a laboratory course designed to teach the fundamentals of working with laboratory equipment, data gathering, analysis, and reporting.

All CHEM A106 labs are held in CPSB 315.  You must attend the first day of labs and you must attend with your lab manual and goggles.  Both are available through the campus bookstore.  Labs start on August 24th, 2009.

For your convenience, we've posted several files below that you may find useful at some point during the semester.  Please check back frequently to remind yourself of what's available here.  Some of our files are posted in PowerPoint format.  Others are posted in pdf format.   If you don't already have it, the Adobe Acrobat Reader can be downloaded for free.

Of general interest: (Presentations will be posted soon!)
