2000 Laboratory Summaries Laboratory summaries comprise the results of your experimental work and your answers to assigned questions. Examples of reporting of results can be found on p. 7, section 3 and 4, in your textbook for investigative labs and on p. 10, sections 6 and 7, in your textbook for preparative labs. Questions to be answered in the summaries will be posted on the course web page.
Summaries are due at the beginning of the next laboratory period after the work has been done.
You should have a grade on them within a week. Some general tips on appropriate style for reporting of experimental results follow. Data should be presented in either tabular or graphical form and then commented upon, if necessary, in accompanying discussion. Although it is not necessarily incorrect to present a melting point or other similar number within the prose of a paragraph, it is inadvisable to do so since those numbers are difficult to find without reading and rereading the report. Explain how light changes the composition of the azobenzene mixture.
