Overview
Instructions on how to write your upcoming lab report:
- You must have an introduction stating the purpose of the experiment.
- Summarize in your own words the experimental procedures carried out in the experiment videos. I strongly suggest you summarize the experimental procedures from the video as instructions that you would find in a lab manual. For example: 1) 2) 3) etc.

- Write down the chemical reaction for the experiment
- With the data provided, find theoretical number of grams of product.
- Find percent yield and percent recovery with the data provided
- Sources of errors to discuss: low percent yield or recovery, inaccurate melting point compared to literature value, recrystallization process.
