Lab Manual Edits Update

I have, since the last time,

Completed all first pass edits of cleaning up doc files.
Completed second pass edits for 30A and 30
Started sending emails about specific revision questions to instructors
Started incorporating Rob's comments for 4.1-4.2
Received Gerry's updated prep sheets which I will consult for any further revisions
Labeled 30A and 30B with FA15 Edition
Taken pictures of balances and pH meters

This will be used to replace the old figure for a balance in the lab manual


Tried out two possible replacements for the empirical formula lab but may actually try the Cu-AgNO3 lab that Rob is going to use for his class.  The two experiments I tried still required extensive drying times which, in my opinion, still will need fume hoods.
Reacting metallic zinc in excess hydrochloric acid
Heating the reaction mixture to dryness
Dried zinc chloride product for weighing
