*Don't take these lab aids as gospel truth. I post these mainly to encourage other people to do the same in their labs, success in lab of course depends on what your teacher considers to be the correct area. Unless you want to go into a conversation over why your answer is right, just memorize what your teacher says is correct. They'll be right 92% of the time.
