Lab Outline and Schedule - Physical Chemistry Lab  (Professor  Bozzelli)                      

Lab Period I   Three Lab Expts/Each Lab = 50 points     –     Check in     –       select partners

Experiments – Lab Period I  

• Thermochemistry by Group Additivity (Can work at home)

• Density Experiments for Statistics and Error Analysis

• Prep of Standard Solution - Mass and Volume Dilution techniques

•  Lab I  Lab (i.)  can be carried over to lab week II if time is needed
