Exothermic

1. INTRODUCTION I am a chemical engineer working for Sasol co. . The specialised scope of the company’s product portfolio include manufacturing of fuels, oils, chemical, polymers, fertilizers, explosives and gas. I am instructed to generate 5 ideas for Sasol and determine the best product (line) among them through the multi factor decision making process. I am instructed to use the AHP excel spreadsheet picking 4 criteria of my choice to evaluate the ideas. 2. IDEA GENERATION MIND MAP…

carbon-di-oxide and water with the release of significant amount of energy. This process is known as complete combustion. Since, this reaction causes release in energy to the atmosphere and decrease in energy of the alcohol, it can be characterized as an exothermic reaction. The amount of energy released by this reaction depends primarily on the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol. The amount of energy released by the complete combustion of a compound per mol is defined as the enthalpy of…

In now a day’s the global demand for the fossil fuels are rapidly increasing due to the high prices remains same in the gasoline. These all increase the concerns about the climate changes and alternatively increase in the oil based industry to prepare for the alternate biofuels. As we know the biofuels are the potential revenue source and we can control the climate change, weather conditions by using the replacement of gasoline in motor vehicles. Now people are using the corn based ethanol as…

The goal of this lab was to prepare methyl m-nitrobenzoate using electrophilic aromatic substitution. An example of electrophilic aromatic substitution is nitration where a hydrogen atom which is part of a aromatic ring is substituted by an electrophile. For benzene, aromaticity is a stabilizing feature. As such, instead of undergoing electrophilic additions, it undergoes electrophilic substitutions. The nitronium ion is the electrophile which gets attached to the electron rich aromatic…

Problem Statement Industries are generated waste water, which contain dyes and pigments in waste water. Characteristically high in colour and organic content (Grag, et al., 2004). Dyes are widely used in industries such as textile, rubber, paper, plastic, and cosmetic. There are many of dyes exist in industries and one of them is methyl red and through nano zerovalent iron removal of dyes from waste water. Dye industry effluents constitute one of the most problematic wastewaters to be treated…

A small burette funnel was filled with column packing solvent at mobile phase, high boiling petroleum, in this case hexane (and then 10%acetone hexane mixture), and Alumina as stationary phase. When adding the sand and the alumina they have to be first mixed with the hexanes in order not to disturb the column. The Lycopene is Red- Orange and more attracted to alumina due to its high degree of Unsaturation, which can be expected to be eluted after Yellow-Orange Carotene pigments. And the other…

most widely used catalyst for the polymerization of ethylene are titanium(III)chloride which is popularly called as the Ziegler Natta catalyst and also Philips catalyst is widely used. The polymerization process carried out for ethylene is highly exothermic. Polythene can also be produced by using a radical polymerization method but this process needs high pressure apparatus and also it has limitation. Based on density and branching polyethylene can be classified into different types they are…

Readers’ Delight Students’ Reading Material 1. Fuel • Introduction to Fuel A fuel is a substance that has energy stored inside it. So, a substance that produces useful energy when it undergoes a chemical reaction is called as a fuel. Upon burning a fuel, a large amount of energy is released as heat. Fuels are used for various purposes such as cooking food, running vehicles, generating electricity etc. Coal, wood, petrol, diesel etc. are some common fuels. Thus, a fuel can be defined as a…

Adipic acid is mainly use as monomer in manufacture Nylon 6/6 fiber, plasticizer, grease, polyurethane etc. There are several countries in the world that manufacturing the adipic acid. But there also countries that just is a supplier for this adipic acid to any factory that need adipic acid in their countries. The main countries that produce adipic acid are United State of America and also China. Almost ninety percent of adipic acid manufactured in United State of America is used to produce…
