Overview
I will prove a lab report from a classmate, it should be like that, but with my data, I can also provide a sample detailed lab report. And the lab information
Lab Report
Your lab report should include the following:
- A table containing your raw data (absorbance vs time for each trial).
- A plot of absorbance vs time for each trial. It is convenient to express time in units of minutes rather than
seconds.
- An explanation of how the observed rate of reaction was obtained from the plots of absorbance vs time.
- The details (including any data plots) for your determination of the order of the reaction with respect to
H' ion and acetone, and how your experimental orders were rounded off to integer values for the reaction orders.
- The average value and 95% confidence limits for k, the rate constant for the reaction, including correct units, along with an explanation of how these results were obtained.
- You do not need to compare your experimental results (reaction orders and rate constant) with literature
values.

- This is done because mechanisms for simple reactions almost always predict integer values for reaction The non-integer values observed experimentally are assumed to be due to error in the determination of the
reaction orders.
