Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the product that is produced from sodium hypochlorite oxidizing 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol and this experiment is to also determine if sodium hypochlorite is a selective oxidizing agent. This reaction is an oxidation reaction. The reaction involves the removal hydrogens and sometimes the addition of oxygen. 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol will undergo an oxidation reaction to produce an unknown product (Scheme 1). (1) Scheme 1.…

Carbon Cycling Internal Achievement Standard Science 90953: Demonstrate understanding of carbon cycling Carbon Cycling Internal What is the Carbon Cycle? Carbon is a key component in all living organisms and can be found in both living and nonliving organisms. Organisms will continue to contain carbon even when they change or decay. Carbon is found in a variety of living things and can exist as a solid e.g coal and diamonds, a liquid e.g crude oil or a gas, for example CO2…

Carbon is the backbone of life on Earth. All things are made of Carbon. It is a part of the ocean, air and even rocks. This carbon flows between each reservoir in an exchange called the Carbon Cycle. This cycle will be investigated to show an understanding of its functions and how human activity can severely impact this cycle. (insert hypothesis here). Human activity, with out proper regulation can lead to imbalance throughout the carbon cycle meaning the interference of a Global system much…

Annotated Bibliography Li, Yuehui, Kathrin Junge, and Matthias Beller. “Improving the Efficiency Of The Hydrogenation of Carbonates and Carbon Dioxide to Methanol.” Chemcatchem 5.5 (2013): 1072-1074. Academic Search Complete. Web. 4 Feb. 2016. This study states that the recycling of carbon dioxide (CO2) cannot completely reduce the large concentrations of CO2 in the thermosphere, but it is indeed a functional process to produce modern chemicals. However, the process to hydrogenate CO2 with good…

Effect of different cleaning products of the growth of K12 strain Escherichia Coli? Which household cleaning product (hydrogen peroxide, Pine-sol, Clorox Bleach, Mr Clean antibacterial liquid cleaner) is the best inhibitor of K12 Escherichia coli (E. coli) growth? The manipulated variable was the cleaning product or disinfectant on used of the Whatman antibiotic assay paper disc. The dependent variable is the zone of inhibition of the prokaryotic bacteria E. coli. In topic one IB requires that…

General Adipic Acid Production Adipic acid has been synthesized in commercial quantities for about 50 years.1 The process to make adipic acid was first created by Dupont in the 1940s.2 In general, the production of adipic acid combines two steps. These two steps include the oxidation of cyclohexane to a mixture cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone followed by the oxidation of this mixture to produce adipic acid (see Figure 1).1 Through the years, many variations on this basic process were discovered…

Gender- Prevalence of Kidney stone was significantly higher in urban area than in rural area. 73 % of men and 29 % of females were suffering from kidney stones. Furthermore, the prevalence ratio (male: female) for Kidney stone was 2.51:1. Prevalence for men patient was observed more in age group of 30-40. However nearly similar incidence were observed in 40-50 and 20-30 age group also. However now a day incidence of stone is increasing in younger age group also as per physician comment. Same…

Research Proposal Ocean pH Levels and Shellfish Survivability Josh Lewis Abstract: Ocean acidification is a growing issue that is causing young shellfish to die, which is hurting marine ecosystems. Research has been done on the topics involved (pH levels, effects of ocean acidification on shellfish, etc.) many times, and though it’s a slow moving issue, it is evident. As I stated, this is an extremely important topic to know about because thriving marine ecosystems are being damaged. As…

Chasing Corals Essay Chasing Coral is a 1 hour 33 minutes documentary directed by Jeff Orlowski following a group of photographers and scientists as they attempt to capture the processes of coral bleaching. The plan is put together by Richard Vevers, a reef surveyor after he himself observes the effects of bleaching on a reef he recently surveyed. After teaming up with Trevor Mendelow, Zachary Rago, and other scientists, they plan to rig time lapse cameras in areas of reef, although Nature has…

caffeine. Amount of Caffeine in 100mL sample of Coffee. Introduction: Within this lab, our group was supposed to determine the amount of caffeine that was in a 100mL sample of plain black coffee. First, we created a mixture of black coffee, sodium carbonate, and ethyl acetate in an Erlenmeyer flask. We used a separatory funnel to separate the caffeine from the coffee, then used a hot…
