LAB FLOW CHART GUIDELINES
In some Pre-lab assignments_ flow chart of the reactions / separations is required. sample flow chart provided figure It depicts the dehydration reaction of cyclohexanol torm cyclohexene. AII flow charts need t0 start by listing the starting material(s) or starting mixture at the top: Each stcp must be listed simply along the side of cach vertical line: The phase or description of cach chemical that has just been separated should be written along each horizontal line (cg solid, filtrate, ether layer, mother liquor; etc ). A horizontal line ONLY occurs when separation happens (e steps involving separatory funnels, filtration, distillation, etc:) The resulting compound(s) must be written underneath the vertical arrows or lines: All steps and separations must be included (clean up steps not required)-
