Lab report - How to write better lab reports in chemistry?

AI Thread Summary
To write better lab reports in chemistry, start with a clear structure that includes the date and title with page numbers. Begin with a COSHH risk assessment to demonstrate awareness of safety protocols. Include a table detailing molecular weights, quantities, densities, structures, and molar equivalents relevant to the experiment. Incorporate a reaction scheme and a detailed procedure that notes observations and specific measurements, such as the amount of each compound used. Calculate and report the yield of the reaction, followed by an evaluation of results and observations, addressing any supporting questions. Append any interpreted spectra to enhance the report. Finally, conclude with a summary of the experiment's success, including key outcomes like yield and purity indicators.

lab report -- How to write better lab reports in chemistry?

Hi,
I get very grateful if you help me get exampler on lab reporter on chemistry. I just want to read them, how can you write a better way because I'm not erfaran on engliska.

Have you tried to google for "example lab report"?
 
Try setting out a lab report like this:

Date/Title with page numbers

Begin with COSHH risk assessment (R phrases and S phrases to show you know what's going on)

Table of molecular weights, quantities, densities, structure and molar equivalents

Reaction Scheme

Write up procedure (mention observations, also when writing it up ensure you use compound, (x grams e.g. dicloromethane, (20ml)))

Yield calculation

Evaluation of results and observations and any supporting questions.

Append any interpreted spectra to the report.

You may then want to include a conclusion telling them what you've actually done (e.g. successfully completed condensation of a hindered ketone with an amide in good yield. Melting point indicates purity etc)

Hope this helps!
 
thanks so much for your suggestion
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
