Chem 10 Experiments

Print out a copy of each experiment's Procedure/Handout and the Report Form and bring them with you to your scheduled lab period. Crisp, printable copies of these documents are available in the table below (in PDF format) for each experiment. Instructions on how to print these files may be found in the Introduction.
Bring all required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) listed for each experiment to the lab with you.
Carefully read the Procedure/Handout for each scheduled activity before arriving at your weekly lab period. Some instructors will require you to complete and submit the prelab assignment at the beginning of each lab session. Other instructors may have different policies regarding prelabs so be sure you know your instructor's requirements.
The experiments listed below are not necessarily in the order that they will be performed in lab. Please consult your syllabus for the exact schedule of your Chem 10 experiments.
