Acids

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…

three drops of 0.1 M AgNO3 (silver nitrate) to the NaCL-water concoction. Document findings. With scissors, cut a 2 cm magnesium ribbon in half. Set the pieces of magnesium ribbon into a test tube, and instill three drops of 6 M HCL (hydrochloric acid).…

OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS 1) Structure Figure 1.1 The omega-3 fatty acids are also known as ω-3 fatty acids or n-3 fatty acids which contain a long chain of polyunsaturated fatty acids and the chain ranges from 18 to 22 carbon atoms (Collins J.J., 2010). The fatty acids have two ends; the carboxylic acid end (-COOH) and the methyl end (-CH3). The carboxylic acid end is considered the starting of chain which is “alpha” and methyl chain is considered as the tail of the long chain…

Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that starts when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. Acid Rain is like normal rain it tastes the same, looks the same. Acid rain is a something that causes problems to our environment. The effect of acid rain are more seen in the water. In some lakes acid rain causes the fish to die. Acid rain is a problem that we are facing, but we are ignoring the problem. Acid rain is also affecting human’s life because…

Aim 2: How does folliculin detect amino acids to regulate mTORC1 activity? Here, the goals are to elucidate the mechanism of action that enables folliculin to function as an amino acid sensor. 2.1. Determine the amino acid reservoir folliculin senses. Evidence points FLCN as a novel amino acid sensor. To resolve the biochemical mechanism FLCN employs, we need identify the specific amino acid reservoir FLCN senses. Lysosomes’ are the main amino acid reservoir and the ‘inside-out’ mechanism is a…

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Omega-3 fatty acids play a big role in a number of bodily functions. They are a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids and are usually found in fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and trout in the form of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (NIH, 2017). Another type of omega-3, called alpha-linolenic acid, is found mainly in plants. Omega-3 fatty acids play a role in muscle activity, blood clotting, digestion, fertility, cell division and growth, brain…

Acid rain results in many ecological effects, with the most severe of these affects being its impact on lakes, streams, and aquatic environments in general. It negatively affects marine life, because acid rain makes waters acidic, causing the absorption of Aluminum; which is a combination that threatens some aquatic animals. As the acidity of water increases, the number of fish and marine animals in general decline. Although, there are some species that are able to survive in acidic water,…

Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid includes the “Yellow Snowstorm” reaction – a reaction between Copper (II) and Thiosulfate. Copper (II) sulfate [CuSO4·5H2O] dissolves to give cupric ion (Cu2+); in the context of a redox reaction with thiosulfate, the cupric ion acts as an oxidizing agent. Reactions within the temperature on Sodium Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid occur as the result of molecules interacting with each other to create new substances. When Hydrochloric Acid is in an aqueous…

Through the formation of MPS-comprising nanohybrids, the observation of the new absorption bands (1707 and 1727 cm-1 ) concomitant of the absorption at 1733 cm-1 may be owing to the formation of ester groups through the reaction between carboxylic acid groups of PAA oligomers and silanol groups of silica moieties 12. Besides, in SiO2/PAA hybrids, the O-H bands were broadened with the increase of silica content from 30 to 40 and 40 wt % and gradually shifted from 3100 cm-1 to 3150 cm-1,…
