Chem 14CL Report Guidelines for Experiment #10 Oxidation of Borneol to Camphor Pre-lab Reports MUST be written inside the lab notebook. There are TWO prelabs for this experiment. One for EACH lab period. Pre-lab for Period 1 (To be turned in on Period 1 of the experiment) NOTE: The experimental procedures for this experiment are provided as handouts. The handouts will be available in the labs starting on October 31. -Title of the experiment -Introduction -Procedure in Flowchart Format (for the entire experiment - except for the section on optical rotation) -Reference of the experimental procedures -Pre-lab exercise #1 - 6 (refer to the experimental handouts page 439-441) Pre-lab for Period 2 (To be turned in on Period 2 of the experiment) Pre-lab Exercise ONLY- Question 1 & 2 (see lab manual – page 108) You can use FOUR different sites within the MSDS on the Web for question 1 of the pre-lab. Note: web site for MSDS is http://www.msdssearch.com. Click on "DB" to start using the MSDS database.

Refer to the lab schedule for due date. Post-lab (Both period 1 & 2) This is an INDIVIDUAL Report (I) Abstract – summarize goal(s) of the experiment, your experimental results as well as the experimental techniques that you used that enable you to achieve such goal(s). (II) Data & Data Analysis - Write balanced chemical equations describing what happen during various steps of the experiment Note: Use the experimental handouts as a guide when writing various chemical reactions. - Find the theoretical yield of camphor - Calculate the % yield for the crude product - Calculate the % yield for the sublimed product (III) Conclusion - Comment on % crude yield (compare to % theoretical yield) - Interpretation of camphor product composition and purity from experimental IR spectrum.
