ABSTRACT (CAMBRIA 11, ALL CAPS, BOLD)

(Cambria, 11, Italic) A condensed version of the entire paper; summarizes the four
essential aspects of the paper, namely, purpose of the experiment, results (% yield, % purity, etc.),
significance of the study, and major conclusions. It should give one an idea of the scope of the study.
It includes a very brief summary of the major steps/techniques used in the experiment. Do not
include too much background information. Typically, 100-200 words.

INTRODUCTION (CAMBRIA 11, ALL CAPS,

BOLD)

Use figures and tables to present the data.

Use paragraphs for discussion. Results and
discussion always come hand in hand.

The introduction provides background

about the study. It discusses the theory
behind the experiment, the chemical system
being studied, and the pertinent chemical
and mathematical equations. It should end
with the objectives of the study. Do NOT
copy the introduction in the lab manual.

Figure 1. Mechanism for hydrolysis

of t-butyl chloride.
For figures, write the caption below. Use
centered alignment for figures and captions.
For curves, indicate the units of parameters
in the x and y axes. Indicate the equation of
the best fit line and square of correlation
coefficient, R2, in the curve itself. Remove
unnecessary grid lines.

METHODOLOGY
The
methodology
summarizes
the
procedures performed in the experiment. A
good methodology ensures reproducibility
of the experiment by any reader of equal
skill. Do NOT copy the methodology in the
lab manual. Use past passive tense.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The results and discussion is the most
important part of the report. It provides the
summary and significance of the treated
data. It also includes the rationalization of
the major procedures done in the
experiment.

For tables, write the caption above. Indicate

units of parameters when applicable.

Chemical equations should be balanced and

numbered. Mathematical equations should
be defined and numbered. Numbers must
be aligned.
Ag+(aq) + I-(aq) AgI(s)

r = [Ag+][I-]

Additional Remarks:
1. Use single spacing. Choose Remove Space
Before/After Paragraphs to remove
unnecessary spaces.
2. Use A4 sized paper. Use 1 inch margin for
all sides.

where r = rate of the reaction

[Ag+] = molarity of silver ion
[I-] = molarity of iodide

3. At most 4 pages.

Experimental results should be compared

to theoretical results and account for any
difference i.e. sources of error. Do NOT
include human error.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
This part summarizes the important results.
It discusses the degree of success or failure
of the experiment based from the objectives
declared previously in the introduction.
