the raw force of feeling” (70). O’Brien tests us by retelling the story of Curt Lemon’s death four times, four different ways, four different reactions. In one version, the detail is on Curt Lemon, in the next, only the basics are told, in the third, O’Brien’s experience is the focal point, and in the last, it’s about sunshine. O’Brien tells us his own reaction to each of them: “I still remember that trail junction,” “This one does it for me,” “This one wakes me up,” and “I can still see the…
rate of reactions are affected by volume affects and determine which chemical affects the solution rate of reaction. Temperature was also a factor in discovering how it will affect the speed of the reaction. This was done by gathering certain chemicals and mixing them into a test tube then recording how long it took to change color. Temperature was tested by placing the test tube in ice water over a hot plate and slowlying increasing the temperature. Sodium thiosulfate slows the rate of reaction…
solid-phase synthesis methodology of N-substituted-2-aminothiazolo[4,5-b]pyrazine derivatives was developed. The key step in this synthesis strategy is tandem reaction of isothiocyanate terminated resin 2 with o-halo-2-aminopyrazine, affording cyclized 2-aminothiazolo[4,5-b]pyrazine resin 4. To increase the diversity of our library, Suzuki coupling reaction was performed at the position C6. Further functionalization of 2-aminothiazolo[4,5-b]pyrazine core skeleton with various electrophiles such…
It has been well established that personal stress can affect our bodies and behavior, but what about the stress experienced by our parents or even our grandparents? It is not too much of a stretch to connect a mother’s stress during pregnancy to changes in the fetus. It makes sense that what the mother’s body goes through during pregnancy could also affect the child, however, in the New York Times article by Inna Gaisler-Salomon, “Inheriting Stress” (March 7, 2014), the author discussed her…
a chemical reaction between a substance and the absorbate, substance that is absorbed) of CO2 is a two step reaction in which lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH•H2O) is first formed by the exothermic reaction. An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of light or heat. In this reaction it is the reaction between lithium hydroxide and water vapour to form lithium hydroxide monohydrate. LiOH(s) + H2O(g) LiOH•H2¬O(s) This reaction is…
The synthesis of ammonia reaction is a quite a remarkable one. It does not occur spontaneously -- at least, not on Earth because of the relatively low temperatures here; it requires a catalyst to commence the reaction, instead. Additionally, the product of this reaction makes it possible for the Earth to sustain its population (that will be discussed later with the date). Ammonia is an extremely important part of people 's lives, and most do not realize that fact. In this paper, the data will…
Our world and everything it contains is held together by one thing: chemistry. Chemistry plays an important role in all of our lives due to this fact. Whether in my career or in everyday events, chemistry will be an unseen, yet central, influence in my life. This is apparent in both my personal activities when baking, wearing clothing, participation in holiday traditions and my professional life when writing software, creating biological implants, engaging in computational chemistry and in the…
Temperature. Normally an increase in temperature will lead to an increase in the rate of a chemical reaction, but the reaction rate will decline after it passes the optimum temperature, meaning the temperature at which the activity of the enzyme and the rate of the reaction is the highest. Any temperature higher than optimal will chance denaturing (loss of biological function) the enzyme and lowering the reaction rate. Alkaline Phosphatase is an enzyme found in the human body and as such is…
real, solid or something that we taste, feel or even smell. The chemicals that the substances are made from generated chemical reactions. The chemical reactions that were being studied caused one famous scientist to develop a law about chemical reactions. Joseph Louis Proust was a French Chemist who came up with a law in the 18th century that governed the chemical reaction. Proust’s law or discovery is known as the Law of Constant Composition, also called the Law of Definite Proportions. This…
Pure Copper Iodide were synthesised and the mass percentage of Copper in purified Copper (I) Iodide sample were determined by applying Beer’s Law in UV-Vis spectroscopy. Absorbance value of Cu-cuprizone solution was measured. Using the absorbance value of 0.3576 , the concentration of the Cu-cuprizone solution were obtained at 0.001389g/L with reference to the graph of the standard solution A to D. The graph of absorbance against concentration of the standard solution A to D shows a linear…
