Students will be provided with handouts and references for each experiment. Students must provide an appropriate laboratory notebook for recording and reporting experimental results. Twelve experiments will be performed. Each experiment is worth ten points. Five points will be assigned for the completion of each laboratory experiment.
All lab reports are to be written in a single bound laboratory notebook.
Much of the lab report will be written during the lab session. Data such as masses and instrumental setting should be recorded here. Any obvious physical changes such as effervescence or color changes should be recorded when they are observed. This section must include a percent yield calculated for all synthetic reactions. While not included within the notebook, your results will also include turning in all samples prepared during the lab.
