The topic of this assignment was to learn how to write a group or collaborative lab report and how to separate different mixtures and chemicals. 

During the lab and writing the report, I learned about many subjects, receiving a lot of insight and more knowledge on chemicals and how they work or are used. For example, we learned detailed explanations and definitions, processes of separation, equations, and usage/analysis of each method. 

I do have some reflections on this work. {/ enter notes} . Some ESLOs that were used and built on this project were: 

The topic for the mini laboratory experiment was gases, their behavior, and their Ideal Gas Law counterparts which explain what happens and why the phenomenon occurs.

During the lab, I worked with my groupmate, Nut (Tanut Wongwanich) and we worked on each one together. The lab featured four experiments: the first was liquid nitrogen and a balloon to demonstrate Charle's Law (Volume Equals Temperature or V / T = V' / T'). The second one was a change in pressure or a vacuum chamber and how it affects the object to demonstrate Boyle's Law (Pressure Equals One-Over-Volume or PV = P'V'). The third consisted of heated water in a flask and a balloon, which blows up at the apex due to the Combined Gas Law combining several Gas Laws into the equation Pressure Equals Temperature over Volume (PV / T = P'V' / T). The last one was about a heated bowl and candle and a beaker or top, where the candle got extinguished by the lid due to a change in pressure, temperature, and oxygen. It showed Gay-Lussac's Law where Pressure Equals Temperature (P / T = P' / T').

The mini lab was very fun and enlightening, it really helped me understand the gas laws and it was interesting to see it in action in everyday life.
