Example Jotter & Lab Report Writing PDF

This document provides an example of how to write a report for a chemistry experiment determining the formula unit of a compound. It outlines the key sections including: [1] topic and objectives, [2] introduction, [3] method/procedure, [4] results/observations/calculations, [5] discussion of results and answers to questions, and [6] conclusion summarizing the formula determined. The example procedure uses zinc and hydrochloric acid to synthesize zinc chloride and weighs the crucible at each step to calculate the formula unit.
