All drugs manufactured are literally produced from a particular industrial Laboratory. So many industries out there certainly have their own manufacturing Laboratory.

Industrial companies like Emzor must have constructed their own industrial Laboratory for manufacturing of Paracetamol. The paracetamol we take in is actually produced from an industrial Laboratory. Y'all can see how important the laboratories are. They are actually established to produce some of the things we take in today . There are lot of edible things that was made from laboratories, the likes of junk foods are as well from industrial chemical laboratories. Some drugs as well, are from laboratories.

Focusing on today's article, I will be specializing on my School laboratory. The school laboratory is a good one. Since, we have resumed, we haven't stepped into that Lab, but today brings an end to that. There's a course known as "CHM 101" it's basically for 100 level students which just resumed. It's a 4 unit course, that's signifies how exceptional or outstanding that course is. Over 5 weeks now, we have been attending this class, it basically more about Organic and applied Chemistry. On the other hand, we have a practical aspect of that Course. Today was the first class and first day of that course. So I did well in attending the class.

Laboratory rules!

Exactly 10:00 am prompt today, we started the class. And we discussed Alot of things starting from the Laboratory rules, which some of them are written below here.

  • Use of laboratory coat, is mandatory for all chemistry students. All I was thinking about the laboratory coat was that, it's used just to know that, this particular person is working in a Laboratory. But my orientation changed today, because it's actually beyond that, Another reason why the laboratory coat is mandatory is that, when the practical is going on, and then mistakenly, there's a splash or pour of concentrated acids, the splash won't go directly to your body or clothes, that's why the use of Laboratory coats is mandatory

  • Use of Hand gloves is another essential thing they didn't forget to mention, the Lecturer was Making a good and solid stance on the point about using gloves, because there are many Concentrated acids and bases in the lab, that can eat up the flesh of the hand if care isn't taken. That's why they made mention of usage of hand gloves.

  • Use of covered shoes are only accepted because, when a droplet of acid falls down, it can probably fall on one of the toes, which can cause itching of the toes, that's why covered shoes are necessary. The Lecturer only spare us today, because today was the first time of having the class, henceforth, we must endeavors to come with gloves 🧤

Identification of Lab Apparatus!

It's painful I wasn't able to snap the apparatus we have, but the little we were given in our group was the one I snapped below. A whole lot of Apparatus was listed for us, and they were literally identifying them, with their uses. Each apparatus has a significant function which it has to carry out during a chemical process. I can't just finish mentioning them, because we have a whole lot of them, with different sizes. Here are the names of little of them.

  • Conical flask

  • Round bottom flask

  • Flat bottom flask

  • Volumetric/standard flask

  • Measuring cylinder

  • Crucible

  • Wire gauze

  • Beaker

  • Testube

  • Boiling tube

We have so many of them, which I can't finish mentioning.

Today's class was actually, more of fun and lot of knowledge. I gathered some Experiences which I haven't had had before

Conclusion

Here bring it to a close, on how far we went in our Chemistry practical for today. Next week will be another exciting day, because I'm always willing to learn as each day passes by.

Thanks for reading and supporting my article. It's @Offsetm Nigeria 🇳🇬, a proud Nigerian 🇳🇬

Dat good, you really need to focus more on the practical aspect of college, it the mainkey point to success in a university

When one knows more of practical, then theory is nothing
