Abstract
The abstract is to be fully justified and italicized as it is here. Use the word “Abstract” as the title, in 11-point Times New
Roman, boldface type, centered relative to the column, initially capitalized. The body of the abstract is to be in 9-point Times New
Roman and single-spaced. Leave two blank lines after the abstract, then begin the main text.

Contains:  General principle behind the study

 Brief description of the method and/or instrument used and its purpose
 Results and short interpretation (if applicable)

Keywords: Practice indicating keywords

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Performed: Indicate the date of performance of the experiment
Submitted: Indicate the date of submission of this report

I. Introduction
 Principles and/or BASIC instrumentation (present or past tense).
 Explain how will the equipment analyze the specific analyte? – Be specific, Very important.
 Objectives should be written in paragraph form (past tense).
 Properly cite references.

II. Methodology
 Brief description of the actual method done in the experiment in paragraph form (past tense) and in chapters if
appropriate.
 Should briefly describe the procedures and apparatus used in the experiment. Do not repeat all the information
in the experimental procedure that was provided; simply provide adequate information so that the reader can follow
through your experiment if desired. It can be assumed that the person reading the report have some prior knowledge
in chemistry. Look at how authors of scientific articles do it.

III. Results and Discussion

 RAW AND DERIVED data should be tabulated. Report relevant data and information which are conclusive and
supportive
 Tables/Figures: with appropriate titles, labels and legends
 Present the table/figure and then discuss the table/figure presented. Discuss the theoretical significance and
interpretation of results
 The order of the table/figure should follow how the data is collected as with the procedure

 Whenever appropriate, errors possibly committed should also be included, and possible sources and implications
of these errors should be discussed
 Incorporate answers to guide/postlab questions
 Discuss the effects of any approximation/assumption made
 Schematic diagram and instrumentation should no longer be included in this portion ! These should
already be reflected in the introduction.

IV. Conclusion
 Answers the objectives (past tense)
 Present results
 Make it as concise as possible
 Should reflect an understanding of the chemical theory involved.

V. References
Use Vancouver style referencing. This style use numbers for in-text citations. The bibliography follows a numbered
format. The references are numbered wherein the number of the reference corresponds to the reference used in the in-
text.
For example:
Chemistry is the study of matter (1). One branch of chemistry is Analytical Chemistry (2). Analytical chemistry is
the science of obtaining, processing, and communicating information about the composition and structure of matter
(1).

VI. Sample Calculation/s

 Start on a new page.
 Can be HANDWRITTEN.
 Just show one sample calculation per formula or for repetitive calculation.
 Must be clear and understandable.
