Describe a chemical reaction that you personally use at least once a month. Choose a topic that interests you, perhaps something you use or are exposed to at home, cleaning, in the garden, health and beauty, on the road, hobbies or in your career. Of course biochemical reactions in the body are allowed topics. . 3-5 typed 1.5 spaced pages as a Word .doc (or equivalent word processor) .Use proper English grammar and spelling .Citation of references is very important .You may use the internet to gather information .Use of pictures, diagrams, charts, structures, etc are important in scientific writing and encouraged in this assignment .Generally, the ACS Style Guide is used for chemistry writing. Since SCC is not a research university and has no subscription to the ACS Style Guide that I can make readily available to you, APA Style http://www.apastyle.org/learn/tutorials/basics-tutorial.aspx and MLA Style are acceptable. This assignment will not be graded for strict adherence to any particular style. .This is a scientific paper to communicate factual information. This is not a persuasive argument paper as you might write in humanities classes. Keep personal opinions and emotional appeals to a minimum .Suggested outline What are the reactants? What are the products? Describe the reaction mechanism. Acid/base? Oxidation reduction? Substitution? What conditions does the reaction occur under? Temperature, pressure, solvent, concentration, catalysts, light/dark Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic? How do you use this reaction? How often? Conclusion ° ° ° ° ° ° References .Grading for this assignment will be generous with full credit given for reasonable complete assignments. The intention of this assignment is not to make us expert scientific writers, but to get our feet wet with scientific literature research and communication. Try to have fun, learn something interesting and not stress out
