We took a hydrate compound and drove the water off by heating it with a Bunsen burner. The lab itself was pretty easy and I understood the purpose and the lesson of it. The only thing I found to be a little difficult was the pre-lab. I got the procedure question so I found it to be easy. I calculated the math question for the practice and got the correct answer, but I didn't fully understand every single step which is what I found tricky. Overall the lab/pre-lab were pretty easy, but I feel like the test will be much more complicated. I see quite a bit of studying in my future.
It was a pleasure being your lab partner. Its a hard knock life having to baby Fossil through the process but it helped me understand it better honestly! Looking forward to the next experiment.
ReplyDeleteI also had little trouble with the lab, and I found the pre-lab to be a little difficult; however, I completely disagree with everything Matt said. If anything, we were the ones carrying the team. He barely passed the pre-lab.Other than Matt's tomfoolery, I enjoyed working with the both of you.
ReplyDeleteYou had a great description of the lab, Ben. Also, the pictures are very informative and relate to the lab really well!
