Research Paper #3

Dear Chemistry students
For Research paper 3, You need to select one of the Common and Dangerous Poisons from the list in the following link:   and expand on it..IMPORTANT: Do not select a chemical you have addressed in paper 1 or 2.
READ this guideline carefully and FOLLOW it religiously.
1) In the title of the paper, identify clearly the common poisons you selected. For example: Pain medication OR Mushrooms (plants)
2) In the paper content, make sure to elaborate on each of the following four points related to the common poisons that you selected:

a) Chemical ingredients names and the chemical formulae of its ingredients
b) the chemical reactions involved (Chemistry) while the poison is activated
c) The adverse effects of the poison
d) The course of treatment needed when the poison enters the human body.

3) You should use at least two references. You may use Wikipedia as one reference. I, however, would rather that you use academic and authentic sites related to reputable organizations rather than an open source such as Wikipedia. You may use Wikipedia to find good references.
4) The paper should be between 400-800 words.NOTE: The bibliography, citations, direct quotes and headers are not part of the word count.
5) Write a full bibliography at the end of the paper of all the references used. Make sure to cite your references properly. Use APA style (preferred) or MLA.
6) In the bibliography, make sure to include the full URL websites links to the websites you used. This is needed because I need to review the content of your resources.
7) Limit quoting directly from the resources. Direct quotes should be less than 5% of the paper content and they are NOT part of the word count. Instead, rephrase all statements and make sure to cite the reference you rephrased from. The next item will tell you how to do in-text citation.
8) Important: In addition to the bibliography section at the end of your paper which should have full citation of all the references you ACTUALLY used, make sure to cite each reference you listed within the paper content as well. I noticed in previous semesters that several students are not familiar with in-text citation. Here is a video link that explains it to youWhen you cite a reference within the paper content, use the author and date only as prescribed by the APA. Example: (Lohner, 2016).Again, ALL references in the bibliography need to be cited inside your paper.
9) Avoid placing any statements between parentheses, unless it is a reference citation. Example: (Lohner, 2016).Other than citation, replace parentheses with comas, for example: Instead of typing: methanol (CHOH) replace it with methanol, CHOH.Also avoid using quotation marks unless it is direct quote from a reference:Example: ” Carbon monoxide is fatal at 1000 ppm” (Shihabi, 2015)Nothing else in your paper, other than the above, should be placed between parentheses or quotation marks.
10) To avoid plagiarism, make sure to write what you learned from a resource in your own words. Do NOT copy and paste out of a website, book or former student paper (including your previous papers in this class or other classes). Your grade will depend on it.Check the plagiarism module at the end of the “Home” area in our class page in Canvas.
The paper will be tested for plagiarism.
