CONTENTS RESEARCH QUESTION How does the length of carbon chains, specifically those related to alkanols, namely ethanol 1- propanol and 1- butanol, affect the heat of combustion? AIM To investigate how the length of carbon chains affect the heat of combustion and enthalpy, in order to determine which fuel would be the safest and most efficient to take on a camping trip. HYPOTHESIS If the number of carbon atoms in an alkanol is increased, then the alkanol containing the longest carbon…

This objective was accomplished when the researchers synthesized esters of raspberry, banana and peach through reacting indicated alcohols and carboxylic acids in the presence of an acid catalyst in a round bottom flask and reflux condenser. This enabled the researchers to synthesize the following esters: pentan-2-yl acetate, benzyl acetate, butan-2-yl methanoate. The researchers…

Alcohol Consumption and the Effects The consumption of alcohol began as early as 10 or 12 thousand B.C. Scientists have found evidence of Stone Age beer jugs in West Africa. In the Middle East origin, alcohol dates back to 4000 B.C. The first written record is located in China in 1116 B.C. The imperial Edict claimed that wine was a drink prescribed by heaven. Whether it is current or an old age tradition, alcohol has been around for centuries. It brings people together, forces people apart, and…

Alcohol is like the gas that fuels the fire inside of the rioters. It gives them the confidence and excitement as well as the ability to vent their anger without having to fear repercussions. The mob mentality, a core part of our culture and the way we think…

CLINICAL SUMMARY AND IMPRESSIONS When reviewing the information provided by Mr. Escobar, there are some concerns. He admitted to consuming marijuana and alcohol on a regular basis before 2007. There seems to be a history of an early onset of marijuana and alcohol use. Mr. Escobar reported that he has been abstinent from marijuana and alcohol. Mr. Escobar would benefit from an early intervention program in order to become educated regarding the dangers of substance use. Mr. Escobar will also…

judge and categorize each other into groups. No matter how hard they may try, stereotyping is almost always inevitable. Studies have shown that alcohol consumption is perceived to be a male dominated task related to masculinity. Gately (2008) wrote of the history of alcohol. He dated back to the time of the Greeks when women were to be kept separate from alcohol; they were not allowed to be near it let alone drink it. In the modern day, drinking is still seen as a masculine hobby. In a study…

which was completed through self-condensation of benzaldehyde with thiamine used as the base catalyst of the reaction. The next step was the preparation of benzil from the oxidation reaction of benzoin with nitric acid. In the oxidation reaction, the alcohol functional group of benzoin was oxidized to form the carbonyl functional group of benzil, while the nitric acid was reduced into a mixture of nitrogen oxides that formed toxic brown fumes. The final step was the preparation of tetracyclone…

chose to participate in. Attitudinal behaviors regarding any given individual’s study habits and alcohol consumption varied and affected relationships, but as a whole, students on my hall are friends with one another, although the types of these friendships vary case by case. Correlatively speaking, there is also an overall trend that those who study alone or in the dorm are those who do not condone alcohol consumption and going out. A prime example of this is Jordan and Xara, whom are roommates…

consequences associated with drinking alcohol, universities across the nation have enacted a policy banning the consumption, possession, and distribution of alcohol on campus, regardless of age or the owner’s intention to consume it elsewhere. The purpose is not only to limit underage drinking, but also drinking and driving, binge-drinking, etc. In theory, the “Dry Campus” policy appears practicable; however, it does not (fully) eradicate the abuse of alcohol. In fact, in some instances, the ban…

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…
