6 Chem 1010 Laboratory Procedure & Reports Working in the chemistry laboratory is not only educational but can also be enjoyable. Chemistry is a "hands-on" subject. In order for you to get the most out of your laboratory you must prepare for the laboratory session by reading the experimental procedures, etc., before you come to the laboratory. You will work individually unless told otherwise. Use the laboratory manual data sheets to enter your data and observations in black ink. If you make a mistake or want to change an entry, just draw one line through the discarded entry and write the new information or value next to it. DO NOT ERASE OR SCRIBBLE OUT DATA! It is expected that you don't copy answers or results form someone else. Any reported work which is not your own could result in a zero grade for that particular laboratory. Your laboratory report must have: a title sheet, an abstract, and the question & data pages from your laboratory manual. The pages must be stapled together in the above order. The title page and abstract must be typed. The title page must include your name, the name(s) and number(s) of the experiments, and the experiment due date. When more than one experiment is done in a laboratory session, only one title page and abstract is required. The abstract is a brief, concise summary of the experiment. It should be no more than two or three paragraphs. Include the purpose, any special techniques, and most importantly, the results. If unknowns are assigned, include the unknown number(s) and the results. Do not include a step-by-step account of procedure! Also, write the abstract in passive voicepast tense. A sample abstract is written below: The Determination of ph of Various Substances, Experiment #30, was conducted to become familiar with the relationship between acids/bases and ph, and to compare different methods of measuring ph. The ph of approximately twenty different substances and two unknowns was measured using a ph meter, ph paper, and seven acid/base indicators. Some of the acid/base indicators used included phenolphthalein, methyl red, and thymol blue. The results show the ph meter to be the most objective way to measure ph. However, values obtained from all three methods were usually consistent. For example, the ph of 0.01 M HCl measured 2.10 with the ph meter, measured 2.4 with ph paper, and measured between 2 and 3 with acid/base indicators. Unknown #34 was determined to have a ph of 5.25, and unknown #54 was measured to have a ph of 4.00. Since both these ph values are below 7, both unknowns are acidic.
