á Cut and paste the grading
rubric at the base of this document on the title page
Reaction
List - This section should contain a listing of all the reactions that occurred
(balanced of course) a designation of reaction type, and the expected mass of
each copper containing product after each step. (This step may be hand written)
Results and calculation section. – Report your expected yield, actual
yield, and percent yield. Show
your calculations for expected yield and percent yield. Note any unusual or unexpected
observations in the experiment.
Discussion
and conclusion - Discuss any and all reasons why you may not have had 100%
yield. Could you have both lost
and gained product?? Which step do
you believe had the biggest effect on your % yield? Comment on the your product and explain why it might look
different from the original copper sample
