I can work with others to achieve a goal
Our task was to find the concentration of the acid using the method known as “titration”. Me and my partner worked together on this lab assignment. We split the tasks up as to maximize efficiency, by having one person in charge with setting up the pipet, beakers etc. and the other to clean and set up the burette and apparatus, we were able to start quickly and have a lot of time to use. Even though we had many errors and the assignment took far too many trials, we persevered to complete the lab, and bounced ideas and information off each other.
I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group
This lab was set up to have multiple trials, for 2 of the trials i took on the role of dispersing the proper amount of base into the acid filled Erlenmeyer flask. I took notice of the errors that occurred in the earlier trials, and did half drops with patience as to reach the equivalence point. After succeeding in doing this, and recording information, I also took on the responsibility of cleaning half of the equipment, whilst my partner cleaned the rest, taking on a role in the group allowed for organized and efficient work.
I can analyze evidence to make judgements.
I was able to analyze the color of the acid that the indicator showed, and was able to determine whether or not my partner and I had reached the equivalence point. By half dropping we were able to ensure we got as close as possible. I also analyzed that, using the average volume we had left of base, I was able to calculate the concentration of the unknown acid solution.
