Specialized Chemistry Lab 1 (Room B+503)

Specialized Chemistry Lab 1, one of the laboratories of the College of Applied Sciences affiliated with the Applied Chemistry program, was established in 2010. It can accommodate 15 students and contains modern tools and equipment necessary to provide students with various practical skills and abilities.

This laboratory aims to teach students techniques for identifying and defining organic and inorganic substances. It also focuses on methods for separating and purifying them, utilizing boiling and melting points, as well as processes such as recrystallization, distillation, sublimation, extraction, and chromatography. Furthermore, students are instructed in methods for manufacturing organic and inorganic materials and analyzing their properties and purity. The study of chemical reactions includes exploration of their speed, energy, and tracking methods. Additionally, students examine the production processes of various industrial materials, such as detergents, skincare products, plastics, and paints.

Students are also trained to adhere to laboratory safety procedures and to perform calculations for the experiments they conduct.

These laboratories are utilized for conducting research experiments for graduation projects.

The lab caters to students from various programs, primarily focusing on:

Second, third, and fourth-year students majoring in applied chemistry within the College of Applied Sciences.
Second-year students majoring in applied biology within the College of Applied Sciences.
Second, third, and fourth-year students specializing in Healthy and Therapeutic Nutrition and Medical Preparations in Cosmetology within the College of Human Medicine and Health Sciences.

Occupational Health and Safety Instructions:

Wear protective glasses at all times, and do not use contact lenses.
Wear protective clothing (lab coat) at all times.
Do not enter the laboratory without a supervisor present, and carefully read the experiment instructions before beginning work.
Wear closed shoes at all times.
Eating, drinking, smoking, or tasting any chemical substance is strictly prohibited in the laboratory.
Never use your mouth to fill a pipette.
Avoid looking directly at the open side of containers during chemical reactions to prevent exposure to rising gases.
Familiarize yourself with the location of safety equipment and immediately report any emergencies.
Use the fume hood when working with strong-smelling or allergenic substances.
Maintain cleanliness and tidiness in the laboratory at all times.
Do not approach or leave heat sources unattended during work.
Avoid directing the open end of a test tube toward your face during heating processes.
In case of any substance coming into contact with hands or face, wash thoroughly with water.
Feel free to seek advice from supervisors or moderators as needed.
