Bismuth is the 83rd chemical in the periodic table. It is found as a natural metal on the surface of the earth. Bi has a ground state electronic configuration of [Xe]4f145d106s26p3 and trivalent and pentavalent Bi, Bi(III) and Bi(V), respectively, are the two predominant oxidation states. [27] It was discovered over a thousand years ago but was often confused with tin and lead. It is a prevalent post transition metal, which chemically resembles arsenic or antimony. Bismuth is the most naturally…

TEE JIN FENG 15SPE072X 27012016 EXPERIMENT 7: Cannizzaro reaction and reaction of benzaldehyde with ethylene glycol Introduction: From the first experiment, the reaction of benzaldehyde and potassium hydroxide will produce two products which are benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid. We are going to look at how to get this two products separated by using their different chemical properties. For the second experiment, benzaldehyde ethylene acetal is formed when the reaction done under acidic…

1. INTRODUCTION Thiosemicarbazone is a derivative of imine which is formed when an aldehyde/ketone reacts with a thiosemicarbzide through a condensation reaction. The presence of the hetero atoms like Sulphur and Nitrogen makes these derivatives biologically active. Lately, great emphasis is laid on the synthesis and development of these derivatives reason being the wide variety of pharmacological activities exhibited by them. So far, thiosemicarbazones have been shown to exhibit analgesic and…

Abstract A Friedal-Craft reaction was performed to synthesize 1,4-di-t-butyl-2,5-dimethoxy-benzene from p-dimethoxybenzene and t-butyl alcohol. The product of the reaction was filtered using a Hirsch funnel, before recrystallizing and filtering a second time. The recorded mass of the product was .08g and the melting point was 47-52.7 °C. Introduction1 This experiment was designed to practice working with electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Specifically, a Friedel-Craft reaction was…

How Carbon Sources Affect Biofilm Growth Yeast is single celled and eukaryotic. Biofilms of bacteria can adhere to a device and allow them to withstand environmental changes, which prevents antibiotics from penetrating the cells to kill them. When shifting from a planktonic state to a biofilm, the cells change its proteins. Biofilms produce FLO genes, which code for glycoproteins, cause the yeast to stick together. This is what helps the biofilm form. Once it is forms, the species within the…

ionic-bonded oxide ceramics such as alumina. Structure of Silicon carbide Silicon carbide is a compound of silicon, a metalloid, and carbon, a nonmetal, and has a giant molecular lattice structure. It has a similar structure with diamond. Each carbon atom is joined tetrahedrally to four silicon atoms by strong covalent bonds, and each silicon atom is joined tetrahedrally to four carbon atoms by strong covalent bonds. This network is repeated and forms a giant molecule. Hence, Silicon carbide…

INTRODUCTION Fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most of the naturally occurring fatty acids contain unbranched chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. We usually derived fatty acids from triglycerides or phospholipids. Fatty acids are very important sources of fuel because, when they metabolized, they yield large amount of ATP .Fatty acids are regulated by certain transcription factors which control the action of…

Granite is widely known as the hardest building stone in the world. So, just why is this reliable material so strong? Today, the stone countertop experts at Rocky Mountain Granite & Marble in Webster, NY, explain what you need to know: A Sturdy Composition Granite is created when molten rock solidifies under the earth’s crust. Composed of Quartz, Mica, Feldspar, and other strong minerals, it’s only natural the product is so sturdy. In fact, quartz and feldspar are tougher than steel. The only…

boiling point increase when the addition of an extra carbon atom in a straight-chain homologous series of saturated alcohols occurs?” On average, as per calculations conducted, the boiling point increases by a magnitude of approximately 14.1 ℃. Granted such quantitative evidence, in addition to its corresponding visual plotting detailed in figure 2.1, it could reasonably be determined that a quite linear correlation indeed exists between carbon-chain length and boiling…
