I'm writing a report on an experiment we did in class, for the equipment list is it fine if I use the chemical formula instead of the full name? There are a lot of chemicals and equipment so it would save a lot of space if I used the chemical formula, however, if I get marked down for it I'll stick to the chemical name.
For example: instead of "20mL 1M Hydrochloric acid...." I would write "20mL 1M HCl" and etc...
Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance
