Lab report - How to write better lab reports in chemistry?

AI Thread Summary
To write better lab reports in chemistry, start with a clear structure that includes the date and title with page numbers. Begin with a COSHH risk assessment to demonstrate awareness of safety protocols. Include a table detailing molecular weights, quantities, densities, structures, and molar equivalents relevant to the experiment. Incorporate a reaction scheme and a detailed procedure that notes observations and specific measurements, such as the amount of each compound used. Calculate and report the yield of the reaction, followed by an evaluation of results and observations, addressing any supporting questions. Append any interpreted spectra to enhance the report. Finally, conclude with a summary of the experiment's success, including key outcomes like yield and purity indicators.

lab report -- How to write better lab reports in chemistry?

Hi,
I get very grateful if you help me get exampler on lab reporter on chemistry. I just want to read them, how can you write a better way because I'm not erfaran on engliska.

Have you tried to google for "example lab report"?
 
Try setting out a lab report like this:

Date/Title with page numbers

Begin with COSHH risk assessment (R phrases and S phrases to show you know what's going on)

Table of molecular weights, quantities, densities, structure and molar equivalents

Reaction Scheme

Write up procedure (mention observations, also when writing it up ensure you use compound, (x grams e.g. dicloromethane, (20ml)))

Yield calculation

Evaluation of results and observations and any supporting questions.

Append any interpreted spectra to the report.

You may then want to include a conclusion telling them what you've actually done (e.g. successfully completed condensation of a hindered ketone with an amide in good yield. Melting point indicates purity etc)

Hope this helps!
 
thanks so much for your suggestion
 
Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'
I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...
Engineers slash iridium use in electrolyzer catalyst by 80%, boosting path to affordable green hydrogen https://news.rice.edu/news/2025/engineers-slash-iridium-use-electrolyzer-catalyst-80-boosting-path-affordable-green Ruthenium is also fairly expensive (a year ago it was about $490/ troy oz, but has nearly doubled in price over the past year, now about $910/ troy oz). I tracks prices of Pt, Pd, Ru, Ir and Ru. Of the 5 metals, rhodium (Rh) is the most expensive. A year ago, Rh and Ir...
