The color coding is to help you determine when you should complete each section. You notebook, however, should be written in pen in a single color.
The pre-lab questions should be completed first. It is best to keep them on a page separate from the rest of the experimental writeup.
Draw a strike through any unused portion of a page.
Blue Text - Completed prior to lab

Expt. No. and Title
Write out main reaction. Include names if known.
Physical properties of all reagents and products. If product is a new compound, the physical
properties can not be looked up.
Look up and record any pertinent hazards associated with the reagents.
Strike errors with a single line
If desired, you can also include the reaction mechanism here.

Equivalents (equiv.) is the ratio of reactants (i.e. 3 mol of acetic anhydride for every one mole of salicylic acid).
Volume was calculated from the density listed in the table of properties
Strike errors with a single line
These are the masses actually used.
In microscale, mmol is more convenient than moles.1 mol = 1000 mmol
Write out procedure stepwise as it is actually performed.
Record any unusual observations
Drawings are often helpful.

Do calculations such as theoretical yield in your notebook
Recording IR data will be discussed later in the semester

Always calculate a percent yield.
Percent yield is different than percent recovery.
Sign and date your experiment when finishedYou can sign and date before or after the post-lab questions.
Post-Lab Questions can be completed at the very end.
Summarize the experiment and the results. Include any potential suggestions for improvement.
