Dissect a Quantitative Chemical Analysis Paper
The goal of this effort is to learn how to dissect a peer reviewed article into its various parts, by conducting research using primary literature sources.
Describe the article in your own words (not verbatim from the text) including the Background, Methods, Results and Conclusions.
•Write a statement of your response to the article based on background research using primary literature sources.
Grading for Quantitative Chemical Analysis Paper:
-Hypothesis State the hypothesis of the study in your own words.
-Methods List and give a detailed description of the experimental procedures used to gain the data; include a list of reagents and equipment used.
-Results Describe the results that were obtained.
-Conclusions In your own words state the conclusions reached.
-Response – put it into context. Do a literature search and try to put this paper into perspective – what kind of impact do you think this paper has had a Quantitative Chemical Analysis community and why?
