Include the following information from the provided lab and lab data in a lab report:
book used: a mirocoscale approach to organic laboratory techniques (the data gathered in the lab are listed below)
Title. (2 points)
The experiment should be given a clear title and the date of the experiment must be recorded at
the top of each page.
Purpose. (2 points)
This section should only take a couple of sentences. State why this experiment will be performed
and include any relevant background information such as techniques that will be employed.
Equation.
(2 points)
A balanced equations for reactions using structural, rather than formula, notations.
Procedure.
(4 points)
Continuous prose, written in the past tense and the third person
Results. (6 points)
The results are summarized in this section but the meaning of the data is not discussed here.
Your raw data should be organized in a way easier for the reader to digest. For example: arrange
your data in tables if at all possible. There are 3 main set of data I am interested in here:
1. Reaction progress data – IR of starting material and product
2. Purity data – experimental and literature melting points of product (sometimes
starting material if the reaction did not work as plan).
3. Reaction Efficiency data – Mass of reagents, limiting reactant, theoretical mass,
experimental mass, and percent yield.
Discussion and Conclusion. (6 points)
This section will require that you answer questions that relate to what the experimental data
mean. Answer the questions with reference to your data and your observations even if they do
not conform to what you would expect to happen. Explain why the problems or unexpected
results occurred. This is the section where synthesis of ideas and concepts can take place.
Comparison of your data with others in the lab is entirely appropriate, but other peoples’ work
should always be given credit (i.e. reference them). Don’t draw conclusions that aren’t supported
by the data. Most of the time conclusions in a well-written report should reflect back to the
purpose of doing the experiment. Again, 3 main things are of interest here:
1) Did the reaction work? To answer, you compare the IR data of the starting material and
product
2) How efficient was your reaction? To answer, you must discuss your experimental yield
and what factors may affect it. An understanding of the assumption on which theoretical
mass is predicated and reaction mechanism would provide useful insight here.
3) Was your product pure? In most lab, some post reaction purification was done, and the
effectiveness of this process was carried. A comparison of both the literature reported
melting point and the experimentally obtained will be helpful in arriving at an answer.
Mechanism: (4 points)
A detail step by step mechanism for all reactions is necessary
Green
questions: (2 points)
What were the environmentally friendly aspects of the lab? What could be done to make it even
more environmentally friendly? See the 12 principles of Green Chemistry, which be googled.
