Finish Lab write-up 5-1B on p. 230-231. The lab must by typed and submitted to me next class. Include the following headings:
Title, Purpose, Intro/Background (give a bit of information about acids, bases and pH, and give the source/reference where you found the information), Materials, Procedure (make sure you give information for what we actually did, as we made changes from the book), Observations (this is where you put your data table), Discussion/Questions (answer all the questions on p. 231 as part of the discussion) and conclusion.
The lab must be a neat, complete and high-quality, professional looking assignment in order to get full marks.

Finish the Magnesium/Acid/Base lab and submit by Friday.
Be sure to include all the necessary headings and information required (Title, Purpose, Hypothesis, Materials, Procedure, Observations, Discussion/Questions, Conclusion).
In the discussion, demonstrate your understanding of the reactions, if any, that you observed, interpret the results and give the full scientific explanation (reactants, products, balanced chemical equation, etc). You should discuss any problems that occurred (did something not “work” and if so, what might have been the reason, or did something unexpected happen? If so, what and why?) and/or speculate on other possible tests that could be done, if you have any ideas on that (eg. “What would happen if…”?). Indicate the source(s) that you used to find this background information.
