This manual contains experiments for Chem 201 and 202. A tentative schedule for Chem 201 lab work is listed below. Please note that many experiments take more than one session to complete.
Also, please expect a few last-minute schedule changes. These changes, along with due dates for lab reports, will be announced in the usual ways: lab lecture, mass email, and/or web.
Because of the Labor Day holiday, labs will not meet the first week, but lab lecture will occur at its normal schedule. Lab lectures are held every week unless announced otherwise.
