Catalysis

The first principle of green chemistry, prevention, describes the basic purpose of green chemistry, which is to protect the environment. The remaining principles of green chemistry include: atom economy, energy efficiency, catalysis, use of less harmful chemical syntheses, designing safer chemicals, solvents and auxiliaries, use of renewable feedstocks, reduction of derivatives, design for degradation, real-time analysis for pollution prevention, and inherently safer chemistry…

This investigation’s aim was to observe the organic displacement clock reaction and see how different properties - such as concentration and temperature - affect the reaction rate. This was to enhance understanding and gain knowledge of how certain properties affect reaction mechanisms and activation energies, and how acid-base equilibria behaves. The data generally supported the hypothesis. It can be clearly seen that higher molarities of t-BuCl gave faster reaction rates, and it is an even…

Takemura’s The Manga Guide to Biochemistry offers a dual experience for the reader addressing two very intense and unlikely topics: biochemistry and anorexia. The author poses his messages about eating disorders to the reader in the form of the lighthearted story of a weight-loss-obsessed girl, her nerdy friend, and his attractive professor to teach the reader about the significance of metabolism and molecular biology on one’s health. The plot of this story is certainly cheesy.…

deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule (in most organisms) that contains genetic information (Phifer, 2011). Sections of DNA made up of exons, nucleotides that code for genetic instructions, form genes. These exons can be rearranged, added or removed due to catalysis caused by specific enzymes. Thus it is possible for us to manipulate genetic material. However, this is not a natural process, since we are interfering with nature. The field of genetic engineering makes use of this concept by…

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE It is my firm belief that the deepest desires are emblazoned unconsciously at childhood. I grew up watching my father work as an Oil Technologist in an edible oil refinery. He would regularly take me along with him to the refinery to explain the processes involved. My curiosity was kindled when I saw how cotton seeds which were fed into machines at one end of the industry were miraculously turned into edible oil at the other. The size and sound of huge machinery…

We know what life is. However, we do not know where life came from. Many extraordinary and intellectual people have come up with the most reasonable theories of how “life” came to be. From life being found on different planets, to life being found intriguing places of our very Earth. The Primordial Soup Hypothesis was a theory created by Alexander Oparin and Haldane in 1920. This theory stated that life started from a body of water and amino acids. The beginning of life began as…

Coordination complex A coordination compound is the result of the reaction of lewis acid and lewis base in which neutral molecules called ligands make coordinate covalent bond with middle metal atom. Ligands have one electron pair to donate to a metal atom and are called complex agents. • Metal atoms are Lewis acids because they can accept pairs of electrons from Lewis bases. • Within a ligand, the atom that is directly bonded to the metal atom/ion is called the donor atom. • A coordinate…

considered to be one of the common organic compounds which can be used in many life applications. It can be used in antifreeze, pharmaceuticals and many applications as well. It can be produced by hydrolysis of propylene oxide that is accelerated by the catalysis of base or acid. The goal of the experiment is to produce propylene glycol using water and propylene glycol as a reactant to synthesis propylene glycol. The purpose of doing this experiment is to converge and install a conversion…
