Chemistry 3710L LAB

Physical Chemistry I Laboratory (PChem Lab) Webnotes
UTC Department of Chemistry
Dr. Tom Rybolt and Dr.Douglas Kutz

Prior to first day of lab, RYBOLT SECTION students please print out, read, and bring to lab the INTRODUCTION material below. Also bring with you all of the APPENDICES. Students in RYBOLT SECTION will also find additional pages at the bottom of this page that should be printed and brought to first day of lab. Put this pages in a notebook to keep organized for the semester.

Students in KUTZ SECTION will be directed by Dr.Kutz to his website and his lab directions.

Prior to each experiment please, print, read, and bring to lab all pages for the specific EXPERIMENT you are doing. As explained in the Introduction to Lab materials, you must prepare for each experiment before the scheduled lab time. When you step in the door, you should know what you are doing and have a plan of action. You will not do an experiment the first day of lab, but you will be doing other required activites.
