Laboratory Experiment

This semester, students in the class will work in the laboratory to estimate the octanol-water partition coefficient (KOW) for two compounds.

The lab report is due…well, I’m not sure yet, check back later.

∙   Here is a hand-out with the general instructions for the lab

∙   Here is a hand-out with instructions on proper use of separatory funnels.

∙   Data collected by the class to create calibration curves for the absorbance of acetophenone and TCE (2008)

∙   Data collected by the class during the extraction of acetophenone and TCE into octanol (2008)
