Unlike previous laboratories, all groups of students will perform the same experiment at the same time.
Technique is extremely important. Pipetting out of the bottle, not labelling reaction vessels, or using graduated cylinders to prepare "accurate" solutions volumetrically will result in a poor grade for the lab.
