that measures the quantity of chemicals in a reaction. This branch relies heavily on moles and balancing. A mole is a unit of measure for giant quantities. It is a number of atoms or molecules that is so large that it is only logical and convenient to use it for atoms and molecules. One mole is 6.02 x 1023 atoms or molecules. We call this Avogadro's Number. Furthermore, balancing chemical equations is the process of changing determining the coefficients in a chemical equation, making sure that…
I predict that the higher the temperature of the solution the faster the reaction will take place because the particles will collide more when the temperature rises. The aim of this experiment was to test if the temperature affects the rate of reaction between hypo and dilute hydrochloric acid? How does temperature affect the rate of reaction between hypo and dilute hydrochloric acid? The kinetic particle theory explains the properties of different states of matter. The particles in solids,…
Direct methane activation into chemicals and fuels can be compared to converting lead into gold, as methane is an inert molecule with few methods of selective transformation. Methane is a ubiquitous byproduct with the potential to create more efficient chemical syntheses and replace the current petrochemical feedstocks through less expensive and more readily-available alkanes . C-H bond activation frequently occurs at transition-metal centers , often with high selectivity and trivial conditions.…
There are numerous scientists who have positively impacted the field of Chemistry; from Robert Bunsen to George Washington Carver, chemists have and continue to shape the publics knowledge of Chemistry. However, one chemist stands out from all the rest because of his historical, societal, and person significance: George Claude Pimentel. Pimentel’s life, work, and contribution to Chemistry have shaped this field and impacted it in ways that other scientists have not. Background George Claude…
DISCUSSION There are three chemical properties will be discussed which are combustion, reaction with bromine and reaction with potassium permanganate. Combustion was used to test the unsaturation of hydrocarbon. The degree of unsaturation refers to the number of the rings and / or multiple bonds present in the hydrocarbon molecule (McMurry, 2015). Hexane was a saturated hydrocarbon, it completely combusted and emitted carbon dioxide plus water. Cyclohexene was an unsaturated hydrocarbon, it…
regiochemistry is analyzed using chemical tests and known standards (1 Br, 2 Br) in order to determine if Markovnikov’s rule is followed. In general, Alkenes are able to undergo addition reactions due to the strength of their C-C -bond (60-65 kcal/mol) which is lower than the strength of a typical -bond (80-100 kcal/mol) between Carbon and other atoms. Adding a reagent across the double bond results in an exothermic reaction because one -bond is replaced by two higher energy -bonds. Accordingly,…
how chemical reactions take place and why reaction rates change for various reactions. Chemical reactions involve collisions amongst reactant particles or atoms to form bonds. The collision frequency describes the number of times a particle collides with others per unit of time. Nevertheless, not all collisions will be successful. In order for particles to result in a reaction, a Swedish scientist named…
properties were calculated using HyperChem 8.03 (Surface, Volume, Polazability, Refractivity and Hydration Energy and Mass) and others were calculated using the Molinspiration database online (Molecular Polar Surface Area TPSA, Number of Rotatable Bonds nrotb, nON and nOHNH). We will continue this work in the future by a quantitative calculation. We give the representation of one of these derivatives in 3 D in figure 4 with the different derivatives to study shown in figure…
Single Replacement Reactions and Double Replacement Reactions A chemical reaction is a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as opposed to a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction. The evolution of energy as heat and light, production of gas, formation of a precipitate, and color change are 4 indicators of a chemical reaction. Two out of the six types of reactions are the single and the double replacement reactions. During single…
In the chemistry universe we have many different tools to differentiate and to help identify a substance. The smallest particle of matter is the atom. An atom has the same chemical particles as a whole sample of the element. Everything in the world is made up of these tiny particles called atoms. Growing on our knowledge of the atom, if you combine two atoms chemically you produce a compound. The two different classifications of compounds include organic compounds or those that contain carbon…
