Description
The physical chemistry labs have reduced the amount of chemical used for most of our 16 experiments by going to smaller scale apparatus and the introduction of mass spectrometry experiments. In organic chemistry we have developed one organic chemistry experiment that is completely green, we now have 4 organic chemistry experiments that are using water as a solvent. Our focus is to slowly implement green chemistry in Undergraduate laboratories.
