Discussion: (20 points) This section is where everything from the experiment is tied together and all results are explained using: chemical theory, physical observations, and peer-reviewed information available through textbooks and the UCF Database. Some aspects to consider when writing this section are: All of the theory that was used in the beginning of the lab report is meant to be used to explain results and findings. Be sure to use that theory to explain results completely. Is there published data for the experiment that was performed? How does the data you collected compare to published findings? CITE YOUR SOURCES!!! Was there error that occurred during the experiment or characterization of the product? (The answer to this question is always yes) What type of error was encountered (Systematic vs random error)? Suggest ideas and methods that could be used instead of what was done in order to account for errors that were encountered during the lab. What conclusions can you draw from the experiment performed? How confident are you in the experimental technique and instruments used? Would you consider this technique for any future experiments that could be performed? Is there an alternative means to complete the experiment performed? Would this alternative method provide more data or even more accurate/precise data? How would it compare to what you did? Questions: (10 points) Answer all questions at the end of the experiment being performed unless instructed otherwise.
