Course Number: CH110/CH111/CH130/CH131 (Lab) Subject: Chemistry and Biochemistry Welcome to the course guide for the lab component of CH110, CH111, CH130, and CH131. This guide highlights some of the library resources on general lab safety. It helps you find safety data sheets (SDSs), chemical and physical properties, and relevant background information for your experiments. It also assists you with citations.If you have any questions, please contact your Chemistry Librarian, Siu at siyu@wlu.caLab SafetyHandbook for Laboratory Safety (eBook, 2022)Chapters include personal protective equipment, working safely with chemicals, biohazards and radioactive materials, waste management, and handling accidents Prudent Practices in the Laboratory: Handling and Management of Chemical Hazards (eBook, 2011)Chapters include working safely with chemicals and lab equipment, and waste managementSafety Data Sheet (SDS)SDS Search (1 million+ SDSs)Maintained by Chemical Safety Software, a private, for-profit chemical environmental management company ChemSpider (100 million+ chemicals)SDSs sourced from various chemical companies accessible under a compound's Vendors tap (the Vendors tap appears on a result page after your search)Chemical and Physical PropertiesChemSpiderA Royal Society of Chemistry database with easy text and structure search, and access to over 100 million chemicals PubChemA National Institutes of Health chemistry database for authoritative chemical information CRC Handbook of Chemistry and PhysicsA comprehensive reference source for properties, data and constants in chemistry and physicsTo find properties, click on the Flask icon in the top toolbar (desktop mode) or via the multi-menu button (mobile mode) to enter the Search Chemicals pageYou can then search by Chemical Name, Molecular Formula or CAS Registry No. using the search boxes under ValueBackground Concepts and Calculation ExamplesLibreTexts Chemistry LibraryContains various open educational resources (OERs) on acid-base titrations, freezing point depression, Le Châtelier's Principle, equilibrium constants, Beer-Lambert's Law, electrochemistry and rate lawsSearch using the How can we help you? search box Elementary Experimental Chemistry (eBook, reprinted in 2018)Contains experimental procedures and explanations relevant to general chemistry labsCiting SourcesACS StyleHow to cite in ACS styleACS Style Quick GuideCASSI Search Tool for journal abbreviations MLA StyleHow to cite in MLA styleMLA Formatting and Style Guide
