I'm working on a chemistry report and need a sample draft to help me understand better.
Check out the attached documents.
The lab document is attached.The pictures for the experiment is also attached.
Please read them carefully.
This is an informal lab report for Experiment 3 Qualitative Analysis of Electrolysis Reactions.Please write neatly and legibly.
Part A: Preliminary observations
Table 1: Tests for Cu2+ and SO3-2
What I Did
Observations including before & after colors
Positive test for Cu2+: 0.020 M CuSO4 + conc. NH3
Negative test for Cu2+: Distilled water + conc. NH3
Positive test for sulfite, SO3-2:0.1 M Na2SO3 + 0.2 mM KMnO4
Negative test for sulfite, SO3-2:Distilled water + 0.2 mM KMnO4
Part B: Qualitative Analysis of an Electrolytic Cell (Cu and Zn electrodes)
Table 2: Observations and measurements
What I Did
What I observed or measured
Conclusion(s) based on observation(s) or measurement(s)

Sulfite (SO32-) test
Massed Zn anode before experiment (g)
Massed Zn anode after experiment (g)
Observed Zn anode
Observed solution near Zn anode
Question 1: Identify which of the reduction half-reactions (1A, 1B, 1C) occurs at the cathode.Your explanation is in the conclusion column of Table 2, so no need to defend answer. ____________
Question 2: Explain why the reduction of Zn (s) was not included as a choice. Think electron configuration.
Question 3: Explain why the reduction of Cu (s) was not included as a choice. Think electron configuration.
Question 4: Identify which of the oxidation half-reactions (2A or 2B) occurs at the anode. Your explanation is in the conclusion column of Table 2, so no need to defend your answer. ____________
