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 :)
