Specialized Chemistry Lab1 is one of the applied science college laboratories that are related to applied chemistry specialization. It was established in 2010 with a capacity of 15 students and with specialized and modern equipment and tools that enhance students skills.
This lab aims to teach students the identification, extraction and purification process of organic and inorganic compounds. This process includes melting and boiling point determination in addition to recrystallization, sublimation, distillation, extraction and chromatography. This lab also teaches students the synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds and identifications of these compounds. In this lab students also study measuring the rate and the energy of chemical reactions. Students also learn how to prepare industrial products like cleaning, cosmetics, plastics and paints products.
The lab also trains students to take into account safety rules in chemistry labs. Students also learn how to do laboratory calculations associated with the experiments.
This lab used to make experiments for graduation project researches
The lab caters to students from various programs, primarily focusing on:
Applied science college students- second, third and fourth year students of applied chemistry specialization in addition to second year students of applied biology specialization.
Medicine and health science college students - second year students of all specializations in addition to second, third and four students of cosmetics specialization.

Occupational Health and Safety Instructions:
* Wear safety glasses (goggles) at all times. Prescription glasses are adequate but contact lenses are not adequate.
* Always wear your laboratory coat.
* Do not work in the lab if no lecturer or technician is present. Read the experimental instructions carefully before starting the work.
* Wear shoes with tops (No sundals).
* Never eat, drink, chew gum or smoke in the lab. Never taste or sniff chemicals. Wash your hands after leaving the lab.
* Do not use your mouth to fill the pipette. There are special bulbs for this purpose.
* Avoid looking into the open mouth of the test tube or flask in which the reaction is being conducted. It may erupt like a geyser.
* Note the position of the safety equipment like fire extinguisher, eye washes, and first aid boxes. Report all accidents immediately to a staff member or technician.
* Use the fume hood when doing experiments with strong-smelling or irritating chemicals.
* Leave the laboratory bench clean and neat. Be careful about throwing away waste. Do not throw away solids in the sink. Do not leave glassware or any other solid materials, including filter papers in the sink. Put broken glassware into the labeled buckets.
* Do not leave a lighted burner unattended. Do not allow any part of your body or of your clothing to fall into the flame.
* When heating anything in a test tube, do not point the end towards yourself or towards any other person.
* Some chemicals are skin irritants. To remove these, wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water. Most solvents used are highly flammable. Never use flame when flammable solvents are present (like alcohols and ether).
* If you are in any doubt about anything ask the staff member or technician for advice.
