Each lab will have you perform the experiment and collect data on the data sheet. The data sheet can be found in your lab manual for each experiment. Be aware of the significant figures you record on you data sheet as it will affect any subsequent calculations. Your values should be what you obtain while performing lab. Any given examples with values will be with mock values. Use of these values will almost assuredly give you nonsensical calculations.
data sheet guide
Copper Yield
You will record the initial amount of copper you used and the final amount yielded after the reactions are performed. This yield will be used to calculate your percent yield in the post-lab (link).
Remember to use significant figures in your calculations. The values given in the example are mock values to illustrate the logic. Use of them will give you nonsensical results

reaction observations
You will also be asked to describe the contents for certain reactions. Remember to be descriptive. Do not just put one word descriptions. TA’s have been known to count off for not being descriptive enough. You will have to figure out how your TA grades.
