state the general laboratory rules and safety procedures;
collect scientific data and correctly carry out chemical experiments;
identify the basic glassware and equipment in the laboratory;
identify and carry out preliminary tests which include ignition, boiling point, melting point, test
on known and unknown organic compounds;
carry out solubility tests on known and unknown organic compounds;
carry out elemental tests on known and unknown compounds; and
carry out functional group/confirmatory test on known and unknown compounds which could
be acidic/basic/ neutral organic compounds.
