CHEM: Day 18 - Homework

Are you ready for the weekend?

Everyone's homework for Monday is:
1) Complete Naming Worksheet IV - do it in your duplicate book!
2) Read pp 282-288
3) Work on your lab reports for Experiment 4.

Remember that the lab report for this week's experiment is another "pull-out" lab. You will turn in pp 27-30, properly trimmed of filigree, plus a printout of the data table (you can download the data table here), plus your histogram of the data. Your graph must be a full page graph, with all appropriate labels and information. Refer to page A-21 in your lab manual for an example graph and a list of the needed components.

If you choose to graph your data with Excel, then you'll need to set aside some time to learn how to graph with it. The onboard Help will point you in the right directions, but it's not the most new-user-friendly writeup. You will have to play a bit and see what you can get to work. If this does not appeal to you, do the graph by hand. You will be doing another histogram for Experiment 6, so make sure you don't forget everything you're doing now.

That should do it.
