A list of chemicals used in each experiment can be found in the link below. This is not a complete list. Chemicals may be added or deleted. Talk with your instructor if you have any concerns about a particular chemical.
Q. I forgot my combination. What do I do?
A. Come to the 3rd floor stockroom window. We will look it up for you. You should write your combination in your lab notebook.
Q. I missed a lab. How do I make it up?
A. That depends. We service more than 2400 students a year. It would be impossible to grant make-ups for every experiment. Limited quantities of reagents are prepared on a "just-in-time" bases to reduce waste and to ensure experiment success. If you need to make up a lab, talk with your instructor. The LAB MAKE-UP FORM must be filled out to make-up a lab.
Q. Can I get more of my unknown?
A. NO. Everyone is given an equal chance. At the beginning of your lab you will be given a sufficient amount of unknown to complete the experiment. Safeguard your unknown until the lab is complete. If the experiment calls for you to use a specific amount of your unknown, remove a portion as specified. Don't add anything to your entire unknown if the instructions don't call for it.
Q. Can I switch rooms so I can be next to my friend(s)?
A. NO.
Q. I forgot my goggles (at home, in my car, at my friends house, my dog ate them, etc...). What do I do?
A. You are not permitted into the laboratory without goggles. You can either go to the bookstore to purchase new goggles or retrieve (from wherever) the goggles we gave you at the beginning of the semester.
Q. I threw paper towels in the glass trash. Why were points deducted from my lab grade? or I threw glass in the regular trash. Why . . . . .
A. Reading labels and following good housekeeping practices are essential aspects of working safely in the laboratory.
Q. I left burnt matches in the sink. Why were points deducted from my lab grade?
A. While it is advised to rinse a burnt match in the sink before throwing it into the trash, you shouldn't leave it there. Matches will clog the drain.
Regularly scheduled laboratories take precedence over other activities with only a few exceptions.
Laboratory make-ups are given at the discretion of the Instructor of Record. For PRIN and GOBC labs the lowest lab score can be dropped. This option will be considered first before a make-up lab is granted.
Lab Make-up forms must be filled out with an attached excuse and submitted to the Laboratory Supervisor (KNCL-309 or KNCL-315). Incomplete forms will be discarded.
What is a VALID excuse?
A valid excuse must be accompanied by written documentation.
What is an INVALID excuse?

We take safety very seriously in all of the chemistry labs at the University of Akron. On your first day of lab you will recieve the "Freshman Laboratory Policies and Procedures" document, "Contact Lense Policy", and a pair of goggles.
PDFs of the documents can be found below along with the ACS Lab Safety Guide.
