The Hydrate Lab
The previous lab we were supposed to do was the hydrate lab. The lab was quite simple, take the saturated hydrate, de-saturate it and then figure out the chemical formula for the original compound. The lab worked well for everyone who did it, but about half of the class still failed the prelab quiz. The quiz was comprised of two parts: a and b. A was answering the question of what does LD50 mean and B was finding x in a hydrate equation. I personally messed up on the hydrate equation while my partner did the LD50 part. It has been assumed that the larges part of the mistakes is on the math portion. The groups that did get it done did so flawlessly and got to use the Bunsen burners.

ReplyDeleteI had it easy on the day of the lab, I had the LD50 question. Unfortunately, my group didn't get to do the lab, but I agree that the groups who conducted the lab did so perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI also had the easier question asking why we must use the same balance throughout. Although I had the easier question I helped my partner to understand the math equation, but I agree that those who did the lab did it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI like your summary of the lab, it makes sense. I did the lab but I forget things so this helped me remember what I did, THANKS
