Communication & Collaboration

I showed that I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group and do my share during the titration lab (Lab 20C). My partner and I split up the work so that it was fair and balanced. We both focused on tasks we felt most confident in based on our previous technique marks. My partner handled transferring the solution and I focused on reading the burette. We took turns adding drops of phenolphthalein to the solution to carefully observe the colour change. This allowed us to work more efficiently and confidently. When we ran out of time and couldn’t complete all three trials together, I took responsibility for completing one trial the next day during class, and my partner did the same. This allowed us to gather enough data to calculate the average for the NaOH concentration. We both were able to reach the light pink on our own and together, which showed that we understood the process well. This lab helped me get better at working with others and solving problems. I also learned how important careful measurements and teamwork are for getting good results.
