Chem 10 Lab - Instructions
Print a copy of the Procedure Handout, Prelab Assignment, and Report Form for each experiment and bring them with you to your scheduled lab period. Crisp, printable copies of these documents are available below (in PDF format) for each experiment. Instructions on how to print these files may be found in the Chemistry Lab Manual Introduction.
Bring all required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) listed for each experiment to the lab with you.
Carefully read the Procedure Handout for each scheduled activity before arriving at your weekly lab period. Some instructors will require you to also complete and submit the Prelab Assignment at the beginning of each lab session. Other instructors may have different policies regarding prelabs so be sure you know your instructor's requirements.
