The Disciplinary Writing Guides are
designed to provide an introduction to
the
conventions, or rules, of writing in
different subjects. These guides have
been designed by Southwestern

About Writing in
Chemistry
Scientific discovery depends as much on the development of
innovative ideas as it does on a scientistÕs ability to communicate those
ideas within the scientific community and
to
the
public as a whole. The
most important scientific discoveries can be set back decades if the
results are not disseminated in an accurate and concise manner. This
guide will give you the foundation for organizing and writing a clear
paper in the field of ch
emistry.
The major goal of a scientific paper is not to simply articulate
the work that has been conducted but to explain the scientific process
behind the research. In a way, the science author is a storyteller,
narrating an internal dialog that resulted
in the ultimate findings.
Therefore, a paper
written for a chemistry class
should explicate all
steps of the scientific method.
The Scientific Method
1. Formulate a Question
It is important to articulate the fundamental scientific quest
ion that
the research addresses.
Ex:
Is the dissolution of ammonium chloride in water an
endothermic or exothermic process?
2. Conduct Background Research
Determine what work has been done to address this question and
conf
irm that the research is unique.
Ex: I
t has been shown that the dissolution of sodium chloride
in water
is an exothermic process.
