Organic Chemistry Laboratory II
SECTIONS:
§ Title Info: This includes your name, the date the experiment was scheduled, and the name of the experiment performed.
§ Abstract: If it is a synthesis start your abstract by first drawing the chemical equation/synthetic scheme carried out during this lab experiment. You may use a program or draw the structures by hand. This chemical equation should be located at the top of your page.
o Below the chemical equation, write a short (one paragraph) summary of the entire experiment. For example, for a synthesis experiment:
1) Briefly explain the synthesis carried out (name all starting materials used and product/s made). This should describe your chemical equation above.
2) The isolation/workup technique used to isolate product
3) The methods used to purify the product
4) The analytical tools (GC, HPLC, NMR, etc) used to analyze and confirm product.
5) At end, state the major results, and the conclusions reached from the results (% yield, was the product made)
§ Data: All data presented should be presented in your post-lab report in neat, labeled tables. Graphs can be in this section or at the end of the report as part of an appendix. NO data interpretation is done in this section.
§ Calculations: Any post-lab questions that require calculations will be answered as part of this section. NO calculation interpretation is done in this section.
§ Discussion: This is the section where all interpretation of data/calculations is done and should be a thorough explanation of all important
