I don’t want every detail – The filter paper weighed…, nor should it sound just like the detailed procedure given for the experiment. 5) Results/Data: a) The fill-in-the-blanks data sheets b) The chemical reactions of the experiment (if not given earlier) c) Quantities of starting materials and products produced d) Any other observations (color change, precipitation, etc.) 6) Discussion/Conclusions: What did you learn from this experiment? a) The identity of an unknown and a summary of the reasons you made this choice (i.e. melting point, density, color, reactivity, etc.) b) Was your objective reached? If not, why not? c) What were sources of error in this experiment? d) List any ideas you have on how to improve this experiment.
