CHAPTER – 1 1. INTRODUCTION Carbon nanotubes are allotropes of carbon with cylindrical nanostructure. Constructed with length-to - diameter ratio of up to 132,000,000 :1. These cylindrical carbon molecules have unusual properties, which are valuable for nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science and technology. Nanotubes are members of fullerene structural family. Nanotube’s walls are formed by one-atom thick sheet of carbon called Graphene. The combination of…

How the changing mass of solute effects the heat given out when dissolved in water Aim To investigate how the changing mass of a solute will affect the energy given out. Introduction Dissolving is when a solute is mixed into a solvent to form a solution. Dissolving can be either endothermic or exothermic. Endothermic reactions happen when the energy given out when bonds are broken, is greater than the energy given out when bonds are made. As more energy is used and taken in, the surroundings…

The purpose of this experiment is to observe the difference between ionic and molecular compounds using conductivity as a means of analysis. This lab will allow us to organize compounds based on the magnitude of their conductivity. This will allow us to determine whether or not a compound is molecular or ionic based on its conductivity. This lab also will determine the effect of concentration on conductivity of certain electrolytes, as well as the number of ions. We also will examine the effect…

dangerous situations, even though they are not proven to increase our probability of a specified event. George Gmelch and Richard Felsen released an article pertaining this subject. The article, entitled “Can a Lucky Charm Get You Through Organic Chemistry”, gave the general public a somewhat easy-to-read article, which provided an experimental result about how many people believe in magic and what they believe about it. By analyzing the article, it can be seen that the experiment covered…

THE EFFECTS OF OSMOSIS INTRODUCTION Osmosis is the process where molecules of a solvent are prone to pass through a semi-permeable membrane, going from a less concentrated solution to a higher concentrated solution. Doing this equalizes the concentrations on both sides of the membrane. Our question throughout the experiment was; What effects do the different concentrations of sucrose have on the rate of osmosis? The hypothesis was; If the solute concentrations do effect the rate of osmosis,…

The experiment was done to reveal how workouts supplements like C4 can affect the development of humans. Other experiments like this one can also be used to show how some substances may affect the development of humans. In the experiment the independent variable was the amount of the C4 that was placed into each well in the experiment, and the dependent variable was the zebrafish embryos after they were exposed to the C4. In addition, 2 controls were set up, containing a ocean/embryo solution…

Communication /6 Problem #2 Use the chart you just created to answer the following questions. a) Which substance would be the most corrosive? /1 Sample number 2 is the most basic and corrosive substance between the four samples. With its very high pH of 12, it can be predicted that sample number 2 is the oven cleaner that contains Sodium Hydroxide. Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is highly corrosive due to its elements; the presence of oxygen and an electrolyte (Sodium – Na) cause corrosion, the…

when the word chemistry comes appears. With the subject of chemistry, people usually think of cool experiments such as making toxic chemicals and blowing things up; however, writing plays a very vital part as a chemist. Dr. John Leyba, the chemistry and biochemistry department head and professor at the University of North Georgia (UNG), was able to give an insight of writing in the world of chemistry. Earning a Bachelor of Science in Truman State University and a Ph.D. in Nuclear Chemistry from…

Introduction: Many chemical compounds are broken down into two very distinct categories: acidic or basic. Acidic, based on the Bronsted-Lowry Theory, is defined as a proton (H+) donor. An equation exemplifying an acid dissolving in water is: HCl (g) H2O H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) A base, based on the Bronsted-Lowry Theory, is defined as a proton (H+) acceptor. An equation exemplifying a base dissolving in water: NaOH (s) H2O Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) Molarity, also known as the concentration…

Levofloxacin cocrystals were prepared by solvent evaporation method. The drug and co formers, stearic acid and sodium saccharin were physically mixed in varying ratios of 1:1, 1:3, 1:5, 1:7 and 1:1 and 2:1 respectively in a glass mortar and the mixtures were dissolved in ethanol as solvent for crystallization. The solvent evaporation was carried in rotary flash evaporator (Laborota 4000, Hiedolph) maintained at 40 ± 2ºC and speed of 30 rpm. The products obtained were dried in a desiccator and…
