Chem 110 Laboratories Fall 2025
What you need to know before attending your first lab....
Lab Sessions start the week beginning September 8 in room FR308.
Note that section L2 (Tuesday) performs Exp #3 out-of-sequence, between the two-sessions of Exp #4, due to Reconciliation Day on Tuesday Sept 30.
The following two clickable icons appear at various places in the lab schedule:

laboratory techniques and equipment for selected experiments,
showing the methods that students will use when in the
laboratory. Recommended viewing.
Online
Tutorials - relating to selected study guide
problems and treatment of results. Optional viewing.
Online Experiments -
Experiments to be conducted online,
or prelab lectures for theory and calculations, are accessed by clicking on this

Laboratory Attendance
Attendance at laboratories is mandatory, and missed work will be assigned a zero grade. To pass the laboratory component of this course you must achieve a minimum mark of 50% overall, and you must have attended and completed a required minimum of laboratory work. A student missing more than 3 lab sessions, for any reason, automatically fails the lab course and hence the entire chemistry course.
If you are feeling sick, please stay at home and
do not attend the lab session.
If absence from an in-person in-lab session is unavoidable, contact your lab supervisor, preferably before the class, and certainly no more than one day after the missed experiment. Unavoidable absences from the lab (to which there is also a limit) are governed by the Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences Policy Regarding Missed Examinations and Labs which can be found in your course outline.
Laboratory Report Deadlines
Most reports will be due at the end of the laboratory session. Information about due times is found in the "Prelab Preparation" section of each experiment in the lab manual. The full report and Spectroscopy will require more time for completion; due dates and times will be confirmed by your instructor at the beginning of the lab session. Always submit your report exactly as your instructor directs. Those reports due at the end of a session should be submitted before you leave the lab. Those reports with extended deadlines should be submitted in the correct drop box in the hallway outside FR308.
Late Laboratory Reports
Penalties will be applied to reports received after the stated deadlines. Late report policies are set by the Department of Chemistry and applied to all laboratory components of chemistry courses at Capilano University. Since the late report policy is set by the Department of Chemistry, your instructor is obligated to apply the penalties as described below
A late report received up to 24 hours after the deadline will be assessed a penalty of 50% of the total possible marks. Late reports must be submitted to one of the chemistry laboratory personnel to be signed and dated. Late reports left in the hallway drop box after the deadline, or left in the wrong drop box, will not be marked.
Reports received more than 24 h after the deadline will not be marked, resulting in 100% loss of total possible marks.
For more complete details on the late report policies, consult your laboratory guide.
