Minimum word limit: 300 words
Introduction should focus on theory and background for the experiment you are performing. This includes any important chemical reactions or calculations that are key to the experiment. Inclusion of reactions and calculations must be discussed and not simply placed in this section. Lastly, include an industry/research related adaptation (application) of the main technique (e.g. Iodometry, gravimetric, etc…) used in the experiment. This should provide a summary of the work being done and how it relates to the experiment and should also include in-text citations (at least three citations not including lab manual and any safety information related links).
Materials (2):
List out all materials and chemicals required (includes glassware, chemicals, and instrumentation used).
Safety (4):
Provide the safety information for each chemical used in the experiment. This includes even nonhazardous chemicals such as water. Please note that not all chemicals will be listed in the materials section provided in the lab manual so you must read through the procedure to provide all chemical safety. Each chemical should have the following information provided: Hazards Identification (section 3 of SDS) Handling (section 7 of SDS) Personal Protection (section 8 of SDS)
Procedure (4):
Do not copy the procedure from the lab manual. Come up with your own plan, which should briefly but comprehensively cover all the procedure you will perform. You can format this section in either paragraph, bullet point, or flow chart format. Include mock calculations used (formulae..)
References (2):
In text citations must be provided and ACS formatted citations must be used when creating the citation.
