All too often we have seen movies or TV shows about a mutant of some sort, who, because of his looks, assumes that no on will love him, and because of that is angry and hostile. Such story lines are even present in The Beauty and the Beast. Usually, in the end there is a kind lady who saves the monster, proving that she can love, and he can too. However in this story there is only the De Lacey family. The monster watches them though a window where he sees love in the family, but he is rejected…

the consumed moles and mass of zinc consumed could not be calculated due to an accident during lab, the mass of iodine consumed was 2.0 grams and moles consumed was 0.0079 moles. The theoretical yield for the zinc iodide was 2.51 grams and 2.51 grams was produced which makes the actual or experimental yield 100%. 3. The possible errors could have occurred due to human error in calculations or mis-calculations in the weighing process of mass of the 250mL beaker. For example, the tape on the…

calculating the percentage yield of a reaction. When examining the data obtained from the investigation, there was evident that there were some trends in the results. For the three graphs showcasing the results for gravimetric analysis in task one and task two, there was no general pattern. This was due to the fact that in Graph 1, the actual yield was a portion larger than the theoretical yield, while in Graph 3, the opposite results were obtained and in Graph 4, the actual yield was…

the start of this experiment, the theoretical yield was calculated. From the results, the limiting reagent is 3-nitrobenzaldehyde. The theoretical yield is determined by referring to the moles of the limiting reagent, which was calculated to be 1.3 g. However, the results obtained (Data Table 1) were greater than the theoretical yield; that is, the actual mass of the product was higher than the theoretical mass. This lead to an abnormally high yield of 320% and an impure product. Though the…

benzocaine, by direct Fisher esterification of p-aminobenzoic acid with ethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid as catalyst. Equations Percent Yield= (mass product obtained)/(mass therotical ) X 100 Results Table 1: Percent yield of crude benzocaine, its melting point and comparison with literature value Melting Point Melting Point Range Percent Yield 82.9 °C – 84.5°C 1.6 59.3% Discussion The weight of the final product was 0.086 grams. The melting point was 82.9 °C – 84.5°C. According…

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of changing soil textures and nutrient availabilities upon biomass allocation within Brassica rapus. From the data collected, we can conclude that soil texture and it’s influence upon nutrient availability is significant in determining biomass allocation within B. rapus. In our study, we found that soil texture primarily determined root biomass while the degree of nutrient availability, provided by fertilization, primarily determined…

Carolina. But my brother, Ben, sent us another letter, addressed as he always did to John Benjamin Wilks and Katie. In the letter Ben was praising his new farm, the richness of the land and how many more acres he was clearing. He told of the bountiful crops of corn and wheat that he would be reaping in a few weeks, more corn and wheat per acre than Father had ever gotten from our old worn out farm in North Carolina. He told of the abundance of water, game, and timber. Ben ended his letter by…

they had borrowed from landowners or local merchants. The loans they had accumulated threw the year were known as “furnish” and this amount would be repaid at the end of the year and the landowners compared the value of the tenant’s portion of the crop with the sum advanced to the tenant during the season known as a settlement (Robin D. G. Kelley, 2000, p. 70). This system continued to enhance poverty because most of the sharecroppers came out either behind or barely even because the landowners…

The purpose of this experiment was to use aldol condensation methods to synthesize colored cyclopentadienone and then UV/VIS spectrophotometry to characterize the dienone structure synthesized. The information gathered from the UV/VIS analysis was then compared to a computer model of the desired product to analyze the optimal 3D structure of the dienone. The base catalyzed condensation reaction was used to form the product for analysis, followed by vacuum filtration to recover the product. Both…

Opportunities in fruit production have been extended by the ability to create new genotypes using Biotechnology. Genetic Engineering has made it possible to create crops and other foods that have desired characteristics, for example Golden Rice is a variety of transformed rice (al, 2012). This genetically engineered form of rice was made by the combining together one gene from a maize plant and one gene from a bacteria…
