A separatory funnel is used to perform a liquid-liquid extraction as demonstrated in Video 5 (Reaction Work-up I: Extraction, Washing and Drying) of the Digital Lab Techniques Manual. (Video still courtesy of Dr. Sarah Tabacco.)

Course Highlights

5.301 includes a series of chemistry laboratory instructional videos called the Digital Lab Techniques Manual (DLTM), used as supplementary material for this course as well as other courses offered by the Chemistry department.

This course is offered during MIT's Independent Activities Period (IAP) - a special 4-week term that runs the full month of January.

Course Description

This course is an intensive introduction to the techniques of experimental chemistry and gives first year students an opportunity to learn and master the basic chemistry lab techniques for carrying out experiments. Students who successfully complete the course and obtain a "Competent Chemist" (CC) or "Expert Experimentalist" (EE) rating are likely to secure opportunities for research work in a chemistry lab at MIT.
