Report
Title of experiment. (bold, 16pt)
Name of student*, I.D# (normal, 14pt)
* CHEMY312, Department of Chemistry, University of Bahrain. (normal, 12pt)

Abstract: (bold, 14pt)


A brief summary of the report placed at the very start and it summarizes the whole
of the experimental work and it is a good idea to write this section last. A good
abstract should state the purpose, what you are doing and why you are doing it.
Also, it includes the analytical method, the main results and conclusions. It should
be the shortest section either one or two paragraphs. (Always use past passive
tense). (Normal font, 13pt).
Introduction: (bold, 14pt)
Write about the theoretical background of the experiment. Put the subject in
context with a brief background bit relating to its relevance. Explain the
importance of this work and briefly state how you are going to approach this topic
(methods and directions). You must cite at least four references (four articles)
(Normal font, 13pt).
Materials and methods: (bold, 14pt)
Mention all the chemical used. (Supplier, analytical grade)
Write about your method (procedure, in a form of paragraph) and refer to the
instrument used as a analytical method (Model no., supplier, name of instrument).
This section explains what you did and how. It should be written in the past
passive tense and include enough detail to enable a reader to replicate the
experiment. (Normal font, 13pt). Keep this section clear and well-explained in
details (concentrations, volumes, temperature, time etc.)
Results and Discussion: (bold, 14pt)
You can divide your results and calculation in parts. (1, 2, …etc.). Discuss your
results, try to give explanation according to previous work or theoretical
background and analyze your results and interpret them with theories and
evidences. Any graphs should be done by MS excel. Try to give this section the
greatest effort in writing your report. Use passive tense in writing. Number your
graphs and equations. Give some references were appropriate. (Normal font, 13pt).

Conclusion: (bold, 14pt)


Summarise your work in one paragraph and mention your main results. Give any
recommendations to extend this work in future. (Normal font, 13pt).
Reference: (bold, 14pt)
You need to include a reference list at the end of your report of all the references
you have cited in the reports (e.g. textbooks, journals, etc.). Please focus on using
journals references.
Use a correct way of listing your references. (example)

proteinaceous systems. Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 1970. 34(4): p.
488-494.
