Chemicals/Hazards : In a table, list all chemicals needed for this experiment along with their specific hazard information and other necessary information for the experiment (For example, include the chemical name, chemical formula, molecular formula weight, physical appearance, specific hazards and additional notes.)The hazard information of each chemical can be found in a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Please find the SDS information for each chemical used in this experiment through the zipped folder available in this Canvas course (see “Supporting Documents” Module) or online from websites of companies like Fischer Scientific. Search for each chemical and its SDS, read and record the SDS information from these sections of the SDS form: |

Calculations : Provide any calculations necessary for the lab ahead of time. This should include ALL applicable formulas, sample calculations, tables from your lab manual, and / or any information needed to create visual aids (e.g. charts) for the project. This needs to be created and organized to clarify a laboratory procedure and for you to keep track of your data easily in your laboratory notebook.Here is a general example: show the details of how to calculate the mass in grams required to prepare 250 mL of a 0.5 M NaCl solution. |
