CLO 03 Laboratory Practical: Purification by Filtration and Crystallisation

Definitions:
Filtration:is a technique used for two main purposes. The first is to remove solid impurities
from a liquid. The second is to collect a desired solid from the solution from which it was
precipitated or crystallized. Several different kinds of filtration are commonly used: two
general methods include gravity filtration and vacuum (or suction) filtration.
Crystallisation:Crystallisation is the (natural or artificial) process where a solid forms where
the atoms or molecules are highly organized in a structure known as a crystal. Some of the
ways which crystals form are through precipitating from a solution, melting or more rarely
deposition directly from a gas. Crystallization is also a chemical solid–liquid separation
technique, in which mass transfer of a solute from the liquid solution to a pure solid
crystalline phase occurs.

Rubric for Chemistry Practical

Student Name: _____________________ Student ID ________________ Marks /25
1. Title Page
Not all lab reports have title pages, but if your instructor wants one, it would be a
single page that states:
o The title of the experiment.
o Your name and the names of any lab partners.
o Your instructor's name.
o The date the lab was performed or the date the report was submitted

Title /2
The title says what you did. It should be brief (aim for ten words or less) and describe the main point
of the experiment or investigation. An example of a title would be: "The preparation of Glucose Stock
standard and working standards". If you can, begin your title using a keyword rather than an article
like 'The' or 'A'.

Introduction /2
Usually the Introduction is one paragraph that explains the objectives or purpose of the lab. In one
sentence, state the hypothesis. Sometimes an introduction may contain background information,
briefly summarize how the experiment was performed, state the findings of the experiment, and list
the conclusions of the investigation. Even if you don't write a whole introduction, you need to state
the purpose of the experiment, or why you did it. This would be where you state your hypothesis.

Materials /2
List everything needed to complete your experiment.

Procedure /2
Describe the steps you completed during your investigation. This is your procedure. Be sufficiently
detailed that anyone could read this section and duplicate your experiment. Write it as if you were
giving direction for someone else to do the lab. It may be helpful to provide a Figure to diagram your
experimental setup.
Data /3
Numerical data obtained from your procedure usually is presented as a table. Data encompasses what
you recorded when you conducted the experiment. It's just the facts, not any interpretation of what
they mean.

Results/Observations /4
Describe in words what the data means or what happened in the experiment (what you observed).
Sometimes the Results section is combined with the Discussion (Results & Discussion).

Discussion or Analysis /5
The Data section contains numbers. The Analysis section contains any calculations you made based on
those numbers. This is where you interpret the data and determine whether or not a hypothesis was
accepted. This is also where you would discuss any mistakes you might have made while conducting
the investigation. You may wish to describe ways the study might have been improved.

Conclusions /2
Most of the time the conclusion is a single paragraph that sums up what happened in the experiment,
whether your hypothesis was accepted or rejected, and what this means.

Figures & Graphs /2

Graphs and figures must both be labeled with a descriptive title. Label the axes on a graph, being sure
to include units of measurement. The independent variable is on the X-axis. The dependent variable
(the one you are measuring) is on the Y-axis. Be sure to refer to figures and graphs in the text of your
report. The first figure is Figure 1, the second figure is Figure 2, etc.

References /1
If your research was based on someone else's work or if you cited facts that require documentation,
then you should list these references.
