Tuesday, September 29 th In your notebook (not your lab notebook) write down your answers to the following: 1. We work with a lot of different chemicals in chemistry labs. Often, my directions to you are to dump the waste into a beaker for me to take care of. What do I do with this waste? How do I know where it goes? 2. What environmental concerns do you think need to be taken into account when doing a lab? 3. What other (non-environmental) factors might cause us to use one chemical over another?
This week Today: Green Chemistry intro Tomorrow: lab (hair tied back, no loose/baggy clothing) Thursday: lab analysis Friday: lab quiz (written)
Green Chemistry Lab Today you will: Read, analyze, and prioritize the 12 principles of green chemistry Read a MSD Sheet for safety and ecological information about ethanol Analyze a traditional stoichiometry lab in the lens of green chemistry
Principles of Green Chemistry Read through the 12 principles of green chemistry Share the work across your group Yellow: 1-4 Green: 5-8 Blue: 9-12 In your notebook, rewrite the principles in your own words Discuss each of the principles with your tablemates As a group, choose the 3 most important principles for our class to take into account
MSDS Information Read through the MSDS for Ethanol As you read, fill out the sheet (back of your green chemistry principles) Think about who might use this information – why do MSDSs exist????
Pre-lab Assignment Read background information Write a 1-2 sentence purpose statement for this lab Using the supplementary procedure, answer pre-lab questions 1-3 Flow chart the Introductory Activity (NOT the supplementary procedure!!) Due tomorrow – Hair tied back, no loose/baggy clothing!
