Wellcome to the Principles of Chemistry Laboratory 113 Web-Page!

Here you will find information relevant to CH-113, the Principles of Chemistry Laboratory course. Every experiment in the syllabus that requires it will have a collection of links to laboratory handouts, problem sets, and projects. If you think that additional information should be posted here, or find other links that may be useful, please let Dr. Moyna (Bill...) know by e-mail. The Management.

We hope that by the time you leave the lab at the end of the semester, you will be doing better than the chaps in the picture...

Final grades for Fall 2000 can be found here

    In order to use the CBL with your calculators, you will need to upload the ChemBio software pack into it. To do this, first read the instructions of the README file, and then select the appropriate software pack for your calculator. You will then have to use the TI-LINK software (installed in the computers in GH-220) to install the programs in your calculaor. Please see Claire Darling, Dr. Moyna, or Dr. Schaefer if you need any assistance.
