1a) Yes, there is a correlation between the structures and the observed volatilities of compounds in Step (1a) and Step (1b). In Step (1a), n-pentane had the highest vapor pressure because the compound evaporated the fastest. N-heptane had the second highest vapor pressure, followed by n-decane with the lowest vapor pressure. The molecular structure correlates with the volatility because of the molecular weight for each compound. N-pentane is the lightest compound, followed by n-heptane and…

Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants absorb light and turn it into chemical energy. This energy, known as ATP is then used to fix carbon into glucose and oxygen is released as a by-product in the process. This lab focuses on light-dependent reactions that occur in chloroplast where pigments absorb light through photosynthesis. Objective: The purpose of this lab is to extract photosynthetic pigments from spinach leaves using paper chromatography. We will then measure…

4.2.3.5. Antioxidant assays in gastric tissue homogenate 4.2.3.5.1. Catalase activity Catalase activity in the gastric tissue was measured according to the procedures of Sinha (1972). One ml of homogenate solution was taken and mixed with 5 ml of phosphate buffer of pH 7.4. To this 4 ml of 0.2 M H2O2 was added and time noted. Exactly after 180 seconds of adding H2O2, a set of 1ml of reaction mixture from the above was taken and 2 ml dichromate acetic acid was added. It was then kept in a boiling…

Analgesics are a group of drugs used to alleviate pain with their various structural and physiological characteristics. Due to the high diversity of the human body, there are different groups of analgesics that are programmed to assist with pain in different parts of the body. One of the first group of analgesics produced are Narcotic Alkaloids. This group was obtained to reduce and block the activation of the pain in the neurons of the gray matter of the spinal cord and at certain receptor…

Introduction Before the invention of the electronic gas sensor in the 1920s, people relied on primitive and dangerous methods. These include canaries to detect low oxygen environments in mines, and flame lights to detect methane and oxygen levels. The replacement of these methods with electronic sensors has increased both the safety and reliability of gas detection. In addition, a wider variety of gases can be sensed and quantified. Despite these improvements, issues with sensors persist.…

made above, considering the overall; CH3COCH3 (aq) + I2 (aq) + HCl (aq)  CH3COCH2I (aq) + HI (aq) the rate law for this reaction is, Rate = k[CH_3 COCH_3 ]^m [I_2 ]^n [HCl]^p. As supported in question 3 part A, the reaction orders m, n and p for acetone, iodine and HCL, respectively were 1, 0, 1. Resulting in an overall reaction order of 2. Manipulations were based on the usage of initial concentrations to calculation the rate constant for the reactions A-D with those values the average rate…

Scheme 11: Synthesis of 3h & 3i from 2a-i. Compounds: 3h : 7-Hydroxy-3-(4-methoxybenzyl)chromanone(Dihydrobonducelin) R1=OH, R2=R3=H,R4=OCH3 3i : 7-Hydroxy-3-(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)chromanone (2’-Methoxydihydrobonducellin) R1=OH,R3=H,R2=R4=OCH3 Antioxidant activity of above synthesized derivatives were studied, on that basis 3-benzylchromones with phenolic hydroxyl group (2h & 2i) showed highest activity than com-pound with methoxyl group (2e & 2g) because double bond between C2-C3 done major…

For the synthesis of P2, a mixture of 1 (500 mg, 0.553 mmol), 2 (252 mg, 0.553 mmol), 3 (760 mg, 1.105 mmol), tris(o-tolyl)phosphine (P(o-tol)3) (13 mg, 0.044 mmol), and tris(dibenzylidene acetone)dipalladium(0) (Pd2(dba)3) (10 mg, 0.011 mmol) in anhydrous chlorobenzene (21 mL) was charged in a 100 mL round bottom flask. The resulting reaction mixture was heated at 150 °C under stirring for 3 days. Compound (2) (38 mg, 0.083 mmol) was added and stirred at 150 °C for 1 h. To that…

REACTIONS OF ALDEHYDES AND KETONES ABSTRACT The difference between aldehydes and ketones is by having a hydrogen atom attached to the carbonyl group. This makes the aldehydes very easy to oxidize. Ketones do not have that hydrogen atom and are resistant to oxidation. They are only oxidized by powerful oxidizing agents which have the ability to break the carbon-carbon bonds. This report is about the reactions of aldehydes and ketones. This was done to determine how they react when different…

Figure 3. Possible reaction mechanism for the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate. Based on the findings from all of the used techniques, the species formed in the beginning are ammonium ion, oxygen and chlorine species. The decomposition products of ammonium ion were hydroxylamine, ammonia and nitrogen dioxide. The perchlorate ion loses one of the oxygen atoms and forms chlorate ion. The ammonia is lost in reaction through formation of hydroxylamine, which is formed in reaction between…
