The purpose of running this experiment is intially for my mentor to test my skill. But eventually it turn out to be a guiding and teaching session rather than a test due to my inexperience despite after having 3 yrs of lab session in school. =.=!
Nonetheless, I really do appreciate my mentor for having the best patience to standby me and guided me step by step throughout the experiment. Although gotten lots of scolding from her, but I do appreciate it. Is good to have a TA or experienced chemist just beside you and impart u all the important skills and also pin pointing all the major and minor mistakes made by either inexperience and careless me..
Can you imagine? (for chemistry student only =P )
From
1) Preparing apparatus to make it dry and vacuum then nitrogen gas (this explain the existence of balloon)
2) Use of syringe to draw reagents
3) Draw THP from solvent room
4) Preparing dry ice for (dry ice + acetone) bath
5) Solvent Extraction
6) Rotary Evaporation
7) Setting up NMR machine
to
the best
7) Washing of apparatus
Honestly speaking, I really learnt alot from my mentor today, so much so that I am worrying now that I can't remember everything! Holiday can be stressful too.
Jia you ba Andrew!!
