We provide a laboratory manual for CHE1031 that you will purchase during the first two weeks of class. Each week I'll assign you a lab exercise from this manual. Before coming to lab you must read the lab exercise and take the corresponding pre-lab quiz provided here.  That pre-lab quiz is your admission ticket to the lab each week. 

• Note that some pre-lab quizzes may require you to consult the ​SDS library.
