The subject that I very much enjoy this semester is Organic Chemistry Laboratory. The truth is that the laboratories scare me a little, but this lab It's been really entertaining and then, I have been learning more than the previous labs.The Organic Chemistry Lab is a practical subject, although you must study the theory. In this way, you better understand what are you doing in the lab.
In this class we apply previously viewed content, like the basic techniques in a chemical laboratory, to perform reactions and synthesize several products or separating a mixture of organic compounds.
The main reason why I like this subject is that, in the practical activities, we recrystallize the products. This it's very enjoyed. You can see the compounds you are able to do. But this technique it`s the one difficult for me, I don`t like using the burner!! But in the last classes, I have been learning the process. In the last class, my crystals of 4-nitroaniline remained very beautiful jaja
The interesting thing about this subject is that you can see that with "common" reagents can be synthesized much more complex compounds and these, in turn, can be transformed into others. It's fantastic that we could synthesize acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) !!!
Another thing I like about Organic Chemistry Lab are the people present in the lab! The teachers are demanding but thanks to that one learn more, also if we have any doubts, the student assistants help us! They are very nice!
I must finally say that I think this subject is very important in the career and in the professional future.
The next Monday, I have the last class. I will miss this subject. :(

ReplyDeleteAre you sure you'll just miss the subject?
ReplyDeleteI also love the organic chemistry lab! is the best subject!
ReplyDeleteInteresting blog my friend Lulú, Im sure that all the students in the lab think similar to you, but I miss something in your blog, something very important in my opinion. In this moment you are thinking "what did I forget?". Well, you forgot your classmates, our teamwork, we often dont know what to do next, but we support each other to succeed.
ReplyDeleteYou are right Gokachu! Our teamwork is the second best in the laboratory!!! Hahaha
DeleteYes!! it was great to synthesize acetylsalicylic acid jaja
