Procedure: (past tense, paragraph format, no use of I
or we) - with rationale related to the Questions to be
addressed from pre-lab
Show all calculations in your logic of the masses of
reactants used
Is the amount of water important? Why not? Why did
you mass the filter paper and/or the beaker?

Data tables with titles and labels eg) Table 1: Masses of

ONLY relevant data provided in the data table (for
example, do you need the mass of the beaker that you
mixed the reactants in? Did you use that mass in your
calculations? If not, dont include it!)
Reaction described (reactants and products)

Analysis of data
Show calculations of actual yield
Calculations to determine percent yield and percent error
for each product. (with attention to sig figs from data)

Discussion 1: What was the theory behind your lab?
What techniques were used? Why? What chemical
concepts helped you to produce the products? Did you
get close to 100% yield? Will your patient survive? Is
your yield too high or low? What affected your yield for
each? (be specific in your error analysis to coincide with
your results (high or low)).


Discussion 2: What would you differently next time.
Propose three feasible improvements to this lab. What did
you learn from the lab? What other real life application
can you apply this to?
