Write an elucidating research paper.What is the experiment’s goal with thin-layer chromatography?Formal lab reports should be organized as an American
Chemical Society Journal article. With
recommendations taking into consideration that each formal lab report will be
based upon a single experiment, the components of each report should include:

Abstract –
The Abstract is written in third person, past tense, passive voice and is
italicized. The Abstract is a short
summary containing the key details of the experiment such as the objective(s)
of the experiment, technique utilized, key values/results obtained, assessment
of value, and overall success of experiment.
The Abstract is no more than 150-200 words.

Introduction – The Introduction is a description of the background
for the experiment. Important
information here contain 1) the purpose/objective (s) of the experiment, 2)
figures of chemical structure(s), chemical reaction(s), and/or mechanism(s)
with explanations of importance 3) general approach used in experiment with
discussion of theories on how it works and information necessary for data
interpretation.

(Although techniques are discussed, specifics of the
experiment such as measurements and glassware used should be placed in the
experimental section. Figures such as
chemical structures need to have the source referenced in the figure caption. References are necessary in the Introduction
section).

Experimental –
The Experimental section is a detailed presentation of procedure – what was
done and how it was done, including apparatus with sizes, exact quantities used
in experiment, temperatures, times, etc.
Standard methods (e.g., vacuum filtration, simple distillation,
fractional distillation, recrystallization, etc.) do not need to be described
in detail, but the essentials must be given (e.g., for vacuum filtration, wash
solvents/quantities should be stated; for distillations, boiling points or
temperatures at which fractions were collected should be stated; for
recrystallizations, solvent(s)/approximate quantities). The Experimental Section should be written in
enough detail that someone who has never done the experiment before, but knows
basic laboratory techniques, should be able to reproduce the results obtained. It is written in third person, past tense,
passive voice; it must not read like a ‘cookbook” but have transition sentences
of steps performed.

Results – The
Result section starts with text to introduce the data to be shown. Tables and Figures need to be included in
this section and in ACS format. Table/figure
captions are single spaced (table captions placed above table, figure captions
are placed below figure) and descriptive enough to stand alone. There needs to be text in between figures and
tables to transition the data.

Results include compounds prepared with their respective
percent yields, the results of physical, chemical, and spectral
characterization (m.p. for solids, b.p. for liquids, and chemical test
results). Spectra, chromatograms, etc.
need to be placed in this section with appropriate figure captions. Only data is presented in this section and should
be analyzed in the Discussion section. —- My results will be included in the documents

Discussion and
Conclusion – The Discussion section includes a descriptive
interpretation of the results and tied to the theories discussed in the Introduction
section.

Analysis of the values obtained
need to discuss the logic and reasoning behind assessments. Values from the Results sections are
reiterated here within the text of the discussion as evidence to the
assessment. Literature/published values
(i.e. melting point, boiling points, IR spectra, etc.) from credible sources
should be placed here and compared to the results obtained and analyzed. A concluding paragraph summarizes the
experiment and its success or failure through the value(s) obtained in context
of the experiment.
References –
The References section must include all references used during the experiment
and for the discussion and interpretation of results. Proper American Chemical Society Journal
reference format must be used: Authors
listed by last name, initials; Journal
Title, Year, volume number, inclusive page
numbers. Example for Journal
references: Glotz, R.S.; Fields, J.T.;
Spud, P. J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1993, 105, 1173-1179. Example for
Book references (authors, Title,
edition if any, year, publisher, location
of publisher, inclusive page numbers):
Lipshitz, G.; Pizzaro, F.L. Organic
Chemistry for the Uninitiated, 3rd ed., 1967, Python Press, Hoboken, NJ, pp. 541-556. — I will let you know what references are later
Appendix (part of results section: Calculations typed
up showing all work for one specific type of calculation.

Writing – The
report should be written in third person, past tense, passive voice. Do NOT use or imply personal pronouns (I, we,
you, they, our, etc.). The report should
be free from spelling and grammatical errors and should be written with
clarity.
