1. Chem. 231 – 4/8 Lecture

2. Announcements Set 1 Lab Reports –hand back Set 2 Lab Reports –Due 4/10 Final Exam – April 15 th Future Mondays (after 4/15) –Set 3 Presentation – 4/29 –4/22 and other Mondays can’t start lab at 5:00 in Sequoia 538 (Chem 125 conflict) can run lab from 5:30 to 9:00 or 5:30 to 8:30 plus Wed from 5:00 to 8:00 or first 30 min of lab in Sequoia 540

3. Labs – More Details Set 2 Lab Reports –Real sample analysis will count for at most 25% of points (less for HPLC lab) Set 3 Labs –We have tristearin and tripalmitin that can be used as recovery standards –We also have old linoleic (C18:2) and linolenic (C18:3) acid standards that can be used as qualitative standards (these standards decompose easily) –These are in 540 freezer –You should be deciding on your “real” sample soon and let me know what other equipment or standards you will need

4. Labs – More Details Set 3 Labs – cont. –Tentative presentation and paper due dates –Presentation 4/29 (1 week after finishing lab) –Paper due 5/6 –Presentation should be focused on your sample of interest and should include some literature research (why is this sample of interest and what analysis has been done previously)

5. Labs – More Details Term Project –You should figure out what you plan to do before next Monday –Two options: isolation of significant ingredient from household product (best for 5 to 50% that ingredient) use of “new” equipment for analysis of compound from sample (e.g. use of HPLC-fluorescence detection for capsaicin in chile samples or analysis of caffeine in a beverage by SPME-GC-NPD) –I will have a sign up limit to number of students using particular equipment for bulk of work (not a problem for isolation projects) only 1 student per household sample/ingredient you may want to have a back-up compound/plan
