To gain experience in physical measurement methods, in detailed reporting of laboratory results, critical analysis of laboratory results and integration of lecture concepts with physical measurement. To develop self-reliance in constructing, performing and reporting physical chemistry laboratory experiments. To become proficient in analyzing and solving complex problems. I want to foster thought and independence. Other office conferences can be arranged at mutually agreeable times.
All reports are due at the start of the next scheduled lab unless otherwise directed.
The report will be typed, figures should be generated with a computer graphing package, tables should follow the format in the journal, and references must conform to the ACS format. For these reports you will need to complete all calculations in your notebook and this will be turned in and graded. For more details see Appendix B of the lab manual. Extensions will be granted only for extreme mitigating circumstances. Use it wisely, if at all.
