I. INTRODUCTION
Single-spaced, 5 indented paragraphs, including in-text citations
Never use personal pronouns – I, me, my, we, our, us, you
II. VARIABLES
Experimental Variable: With units, if needed
Dependent Variable: With units, if needed
Controlled Variables: With amounts/units, if needed
Control Run: Be specific
III. HYPOTHESIS
If … then … because…make sure that the “because” section of the
hypothesis is based on the research.
IV. MATERIALS
Flasks
3% H2O2 solution
3 M H2SO4
Burette with stand
0.1 M KMnO4
Add the additional materials that were used
V. PROCEDURE
Procedure to create each test group:
1) Explain how to create the separate control and experimental groups.
2) Follow the rules for writing a procedure (complete sentences with
command verbs, numbered steps, etc.).
Procedure to test each sample:
1) Using a graduated cylinder, add 6 mL of the H2O2 solution to a flask.
2) Using a graduated cylinder, add 10 mL of concentrated H2SO4 (3 M) to
the H2O2 solution.
3) Fill the burette with the 0.1 M KMnO4 solution using the funnel.
4) Record the initial burette reading.
5) Place the flask under the spout of the burette.
6) Slowly add the KMnO4 solution to the flask while swirling the flask by
moving your hand in a circular motion. (Since O2 gas is produced in the
reaction, the mixture will bubble when the KMnO4 is added.)
7) As the bubbling begins to subside and the mixture begins to change
briefly to a light pink color, begin adding the KMnO4 solution more slowly
and waiting between additions of KMnO4 for the mixture to return to
being colorless.
8) Once the solution turns pink and remains pink for 30 seconds, stop
adding the KMnO4 solution.
9) Record the final burette reading, and calculate the amount of KMnO4
solution used in the titration.
