floats in giant lumped up bubbles. Well there is much more than meets the eye in thermometers. For many, questioning things as a child is just a natural thing. For adults it becomes just something that is accepted, but their is many things that go into effect to make Mercury what it is. The book “The Disappearing Spoon”, by Sam Kean is a book that gives an explanation of basic chemistry. It does a great job informing the readers of how chemistry was literally discovered by only a handful of…
Exp D. Post Lab Questions 1. What is the purpose of the concentrated sulfuric acid in the first step? The purpose of using concentrated sulfuric acid is to activate the reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride and produce the acetylsalicylic acid, which is aspirin. The sulfuric acid is used to protonate oxygen atom of a carbonyl group of salicylic acid. 2. What would happen if the sulfuric acid were left out? Removal of catalytic acid from the reaction would slow down or not proceed…
The novel “Christine” written by the Author Stephen King tells the story of Arnie Cunningham who fell in love of a Plymouth Fury car model dated 1958 and named “Christine” which looked like a wreck. He decided to buy the car despite the advice of his friend Dennis. His parents were totally opposite to this idea, Arnie’ mother would have preferred him to keep the money for later going to University. He brought the car to the Farnell’s do-it-yourself auto-repair workshop in order to restore…
abuse. The second article focuses on the cognitive behaviors of one who drinks extensive amounts of alcohol. Their have been studies that show people who drink at a relatively early age tend to have lower IQ’s and drop out of school. Studies suggest that there is poor cognitive functioning, especially in adolescents, to young adults with drags on the full on adult hood, that increases the risk of alcohol disorders. The use of this substitute goes to show all the many negative aspects about it…
Alcoholic Fermentation in Yeast By: Jettica Williams BIOL 1107 Lab October 10, 2016 Prepared for Mrs. Whitney Lab Course Introduction: During this experiment, we investigated the alcoholic fermentation in a single- celled fungus, which is yeast. Fermentation is activity of decomposition carbohydrates whereas deterioration incurring foods have protein. During the fermentation process usually do not generate reek and usually produced carbon dioxide gas, but marked by hydrogen sulfide gas…
The purpose of the experiment was to examine the reactivity’s of several different substrates under SN2 reaction conditions. Discussion: All of the SN2 reaction mechanisms react the exact same way. The nucleophile sodium iodide attacks the delta positive alpha carbon forming an intermediate that has a partially formed C-I bond and a partially broken bond between carbon and the delta negative leaving group. The stereochemistry is inverted at the alpha carbon as the C-I bond fully forms. Then…
predicted product, 5-iodosalicylamide, it can be concluded that the product is very pure. Infrared spectroscopy revealed three peaks at frequencies ~1650 cm-1, 3196-3333 cm-1, and 3439 cm-1. Those peaks indicate the presence of an amide, amine, and an alcohol, respectively.…
Nasra Hussein Dr. Carolyn Wanamaker CHE 222: Organic Chemistry 2 January 29, 2016 “Conversion of Oxazolidinediones to Isoindoloisoquinolinones via Intramolecular Friedel-Crafts Reaction” Researchers Ji-Young Min and Guncheol Kim from the Department of Chemistry at Chungnam National University developed a method of converting isoindoloisoquinolinones using a Friedel-Crafts reactions. Friedel-Crafts are reactions that involve a 2-step substitution mechanism where substituents are attached to…
Alcohol and cardiovascular disease risk The relationship between alcohol and cardiovascular disease risk has long been established, with over a hundred studies examining this relationship over more than three decades. While high alcohol intakes are associated with many causes of morbidity and mortality such as cirrhosis of the liver and a variety of cancers, alcohol intake has been frequently and consistently been associated with an inverse association with the risk of cardiovascular disease.…
environment, though unfortunately, many people are making it a potential danger to others. To begin, one of the main issues is drinking and driving. Many teens know this is not good, though they do not make smart choices. Many teens choose to drink alcohol, even though it is illegal. Why? Well, they might think it's cool, or they may be doing because a friend is. Whatever the reason, drinking is bad regardless, and it isn't even legal for teens to drink. Yet they still drink. Not only this,…
