beloved laboratory


Hello friends, today I will talk about my favorite subject ... the laboratory of organic chemistry.
I really love chemistry laboratories, but it got my attention even more, I learned a lot of things and I had a good time because I was surrounded by nice and very intelligent people.
The organic chemistry laboratory is 100% practice, but at the beginning of the class they explain the necessary theory. This laboratory was on Mondays at 2 pm, every Monday we synthesized a different product such as: 2-methoxynaphthalene, t-butyl chloride, acetylsalicylic acid, etc. I never thought I'd synthesize aspirin so fast !! The synthesized product was allowed to dry to weigh it the following week and see what the performance of your reaction was ... it was disappointing haha ​​.. your performance never exceeded 60% !!
This product synthesis is based on techniques you learn in the organic chemistry class, so if you didn't go to organic chemistry classes, you were going to be really lost in the lab classes!
It really was a great experience, teachers and assistants guide you throughout the synthesis process so that your product is pure. I hope the next lab is that good :)
