Let Us Eat Cake!

We are almost to the end of the year!  To help motivate the class to turn in the last assignment (Titration Lab Part II), I will buy a cake for the class if everyone turns in the lab.

Lab Details:  Due Thursday 6/3, although for cake I will accept it up to Monday 6/7.  Put all of your group members' names on your lab report.  No others besides these people should have the same data as you.

For the Lab Write up, you need:
1)  Purpose/Problem Statement
2)  Hypothesis (what you will do, what you expect, and why)
3)  Background Information (different from what I put on the lab hand-out and unique to you).
4)  Materials
5)  Procedure (do not say "see hand-out or simply repeat the instructions for part I.)
6)  Neat and organized data table with labels, units, and title.
7)  Calculations:  show work.  Compare moles of base remaining to moles of base in tablet calculated with stoichiometry.
8)  Conclusion/Evaluation.  Refer to hypthesis, use specific data, explain results, discuss sources of error/uncertainty.

P.S.  If you want to get an early start on Final Exam review, I have just put the Review Packet in the Documents section.
