Equilibrium chemistry

this project the aim is to determine the equilibrium constant (Kc) of a weak base when it reacts with a weak acid. The chemicals I wish to determine the equilibrium constant for are, Ethanoic acid (CH3COOH) and Propanol (C3H7OH). To accomplish this, the first question we must ask is, “what is an equilibrium constant and how is it determined”? There are 2 different types of equilibrium. The first, and the type we shall be using is known as homogeneous equilibrium which has everything present in…

Abstract. The theoretical treatment of the equilibrium structure of the derivatives was based on the DFT method using the functional B3LYP with the base 6-311 ++ G (d, p). To distinguish the molecular electrostatic potential surface (MESP), we used the principle of HSAB (Hard Soft Acid and Base), in order to have the centers of activity of a molecule and the effects of substitution on the systems of pyrazolooxazine. These have anti-inflammatory activities. In our work, we have applied methods of…

The main principle of manufacture of urea has two main reactions. 2NH3 + CO2 NH2COONH4 -37.4 Kcal/mol NH2COONH4 NH2CONH2 + H2O + 6.3 Kcal/mol While going main reactions, the undesirable side reaction taking place is 2NH2CONH2 NH2CONHCONH2 (Biuret) + NH3 This process is further complicated by the formation of a substance called biuret, NH2CONHCONH2, which should be kept low because it adversely affects the growth…

which are not superimposeable upon each other. The basic idea behind conformational analysis is that molecules will have certain physical and chemical and thermodynamic properties that are dependent on the preferred conformations. in the modern chemistry, where it can lead to significant improvement in the understanding of more complex system. theoretical calculations were proved to give good results for thermodynamic properties [1-3] The determination of the structural parameters of the…

Ciminelli and Osseo-Asare, 1995; Lowson, 1982). Anderson (1951) reported 26 kJ/mol in the study of oxidation kinetics of galena (PbS) while Stenhouse and Armstrong (1952) reported an activation energy of 20 kJ/mol for the alkaline oxidation of pyrite. Koslides and Ciminelli (1992) suggested that during alkaline oxidation of sulphides, there is a change from chemical (activation energy > 40 kJ/mol) to diffusion (activation energy < 40 kJ/mol) control as the rate determining step when…

Aim: This is an investigation to establish the effect of different temperatures (from 0°C -100°C) on the production of oxygen gas in a potato catalase reaction, using hydrogen peroxide as a substrate. The oxygen gas produced will be measured using a gas pressure sensor. Introduction: Enzymes are proteins, known as biological catalysts that increase the rate of reaction in a biochemical reaction without being chemically altered. The human body consists of various different types of enzymes,…

The produced ester…

absorption band at 1258-1166 due to the presence of C=S bond in it and further thiol gives absorption band in the region of 2700-2550 cm-1 for S-H bond. Two peaks with lower intensities obtained at 3350 cm-1 and 3250cm- 1 due to N–H bond also favours equilibrium in between thion-thiol. Also the N–H band appears in the regions of 3200 to 3100…

Energy needed for life comes from the breaking or forming of chemical bonds during chemical reactions. Energy is released in the formation of bonds and energy is also released when the bonds are broken, but in both energy is required to start the chemical reaction. This energy needed to start a chemical reaction, activation energy, comes from enzymes. Enzymes (almost always proteins) are organic catalysts that help speed up the rate of reactions and allow the reactants to get the most out of the…

6. Quantitative determination of rat peroxisome proliferators activators γ (PPAR-γ): Rat PPAR-γ concentration was determined by ELISA; using a commercially available kit, MyBioSource, Inc., California, USA. The kit utilizing a monoclonal anti- PPAR-γ antibody and an PPAR-γ-HRP conjugate enzyme-linked immunosorbent process assay (ELISA) to determine the concentration of PPAR-γ in serum, plasma, urine, cell culture supernatant and tissue homogenates. Principle of the assay: The sample and buffer…
