Hello Does DAT Destroyer's O Chem include all the lab techniques we need to know for the DAT?

do you guys recommend any other sources? I think I am solid on base/acid extraction... What other lab techniques show up the most on the DAT?

Thank you!

In the 2016 version of the DAT Destroyer laboratory questions are addressed and problems including extraction, spectroscopy, chromatography, and related concepts. The 2016 has all the tools you need for the 2016 DAT.

Hope this helps

Can you also let us know what kind of metal flame tests we should know for the exam?

I don't think I would worry about memorizing colors, but focus on 3 main things.....1. Writing electron configuration and understanding the excited state 2. Period Table trends such as metallic character, electron affinity, electronegativity, radius, electron affinity, and ionization energy 3. Family names such as Alkaline Earth metals, Transition metals, Metalloids, Halogens, etc along with their characteristics. For example, Silicon is a metalloid ( semi-metal ) which has properties of both a metal and a non-metal. It is shiny like a metal, but a poor heat conductor !!!!

Hope this helps.
