Description Formal Lab reports should be typed double-spaced with 12 pt. font and 1 inch margins. The report should include the following format: Abstract – brief summary of the entire experiment - Give an overview of what you will be doing in the lab and the goal of the experiment Introduction & Background Section – state the objective of the experiment and discuss any relevant theory pertaining to the particular lab being -What should be included:     - Background on lability/stability of inorganic complexes.            - Differences between Co(II) and Co(III) in terms of d-atomic orbital electron distribution     - Give the structures of the three compounds you will be synthesizing     - Give all the reactions you performed in the three weeks     -What information do we learn about a complex from U.V-Vis absorption and FT-IR? How are they different?     -What are the effects of adding different ligands to Co? Talk about the spectrochemical series and their influence on d-orbital splitting     - Explain the common ion effect and how it pertains to this lab Experimental – an explanation of all procedures performed and materials needed to replicate the Must be in paragraph format; no lists. -Include the synthesis from Part A, B, and C. Please be in your own words -Don’t include the methods for obtaining the absorption spectrum, FT-IR, or conductivity. -Do not include personal pronouns (he, she, they, we, etc. ) Observations & Results – clear state all observations taken during the experiment and tabulate results completely showing all calculations for percent yield and related calculations (use proper significant figures and units in calculations). -Include four figures and 1 table – (create your own tables – do not share tables)      1.) Absorption spectrum of [Co(NH3)4CO3] NO3      2.) Absorption spectrum of [Co(NH3)5Cl] Cl2      3.) Absorption spectrum of Co(NH3)5(H2O)      4.) FT-IR spectrum of Co(NH3)4CO3 and Co(NH3)5Cl – Properly labeled will vibrational modes      5.) Table with the conductivity values of the three complexes Discussion – Paragraph form/Numbered – Do not copy the post lab questions into the report. Just answer the questions. – Post Lab Questions - Including Yield Calculations for Part A and B Couple comments about the following post lab questions -Part C Q1: Omit this question – It’s in the results section -Part C Q2: Resistivity is 1/Conductivity        - Don’t calculate cell constant, specific conductivity, and molar conductivity - Part C Q3: Omit this question - Part C Q4: Answer this question - Part C Q5: Answer this question - Part C Q6: You can answer this – Assume the concentration is 1 mM - Part C Q7: Answer this question but describe the differences in the absorption maxima. What is accounting for those differences? - Part C Q8: Answer this question - Part C Q9: Answer this question - Part D Q1: Put a table with the assigned vibrational mode and the associated wavenumber - Part D Q2: Answer this question – try your best - Part D Q3: Omit this question because you should’ve assigned your spectrum in the results section. - Part D Q4: Good question. Do you think there are any NO3 vibrational modes? If so, where should they be? And what would happen if the NO3 was coordinated to the Co? - Part D Q5: This is a good question. How do you know you coordinated the CO3? How would the spectrum look with only CO3? - Part D Q6: Create a table for the Co(NH3)5Cl complex - Part D Q7: What bands do you think are absent? - Part D Q8: Answer this question - Part D Q9: Answer this question Include the percent yields after the post lab questions so: - Part A Q6 - Part B Q5 Conclusions – summarize the purpose of the experiment and state with reasoning the experiment was successful or not and how it could potentially be - What issues did you have? How could you fix them? What would you like to do next in terms of inorganic synthesis?
