Examining Substitution Reactions of Several Alcohol-Containing Compounds Several Experiments were performed using substitutions reactions with hydrogen halides. These results and favor methods or pathways for the several alcohols were observed and will be discussed. Introduction for all the material Scheme 1. Substitution of 3-(m-tolyl)propan-1-ol to form 1-(3-bromopropyl )-3-methylbenzene. Aromatic materials used in this reaction has high boiling point thus the reaction was heated…

Overview: A fair test is conducted to determine how much bicarb soda is needed to extinguish a tea-light candle when mixed with vinegar. When bicarb soda and vinegar are mixed together a chemical reaction is made thus extinguishing a lit candle, the candle is blown out as bicarb soda and vinegar creates carbon dioxide. A candle needs oxygen to burn, however when carbon dioxide is poured above the flame the candle will quickly be put out, as carbon dioxide is a heavier gas. Aim: To…

Solventless Reactions: The Aldol Reaction CH204-01 Fadwa Mekkaoui Introduction: An aldol reaction is the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond by the addition of a nucleophile to an electron deficient carbon. The reaction is favorable in Green Chemistry. It demonstrates green principles such as using no solvent and having a high atom economy. In the lab a mixed aldol reaction was performed to synthesize an unsaturated ketone from and aldehyde and ketone. By using an aldehyde, that doesn’t…

A recently married couple was driving on the freeway when a drunken woman hit their car. The husband was killed in this tragic accident. This incident could have easily been avoided if that woman had made one simple choice, to not drink and drive. This is just one person’s story out of the millions affected by drunk driving. Drunk driving not only affects the victim, but it also affects the driver. Some drunk drivers are killed because of their foolish actions. On January 15, 2000 Chris and two…

Given his interest in social reform, especially as it related to the unhealthy effects of drinking alcohol, it is little wonder that his first endeavors to help people at the police court were limited to reforming drunkards. Panzarella (2002) notes that it was his active involvement in and support of the temperance movement – rather than religion, enlightenment philosophy, or civic duty – that motivated Augustus’ work to help people who came before courts. A tool he began using early in his…

The spectacular failure of the prohibition era is a testament to the vicelike grip alcohols holds over the human psyche. Despite its bitter, burning taste, humans have always consumed and over consumed alcohol in copious amounts. When one brings this theory into the literary dimension, a whole world of alcoholic possibilities expands. By examining how it affects personality and bodily functions, one can use drinking as a way to accelerate plot and character development. In Good Morning, Midnight…

The Prohibition was certainly a big part of the Progressive era. The law was passed on January 16, 1919. It was proposed and supported by religous groups and mostly women. The prohibtion was a big part of the progressive era, but for the majority of the U.S. population, it was a big part for the wrong reasons. Some homes would make and sell alcohol for many years. The 18th Amendment was prohibition of alcohol. It was proposed on December 18, 1917 by Congress. The 18th Amendment was ratified on…

When examining the the location of the vehicle and how it arrived there, courts generally view a vehicle being found in a parking lot of the original location more favorably than on or near busy streets. In Hiegel v. State and Nichols v. State, the location of the vehicles were found in the original location where the drinking occurred. (Cite) Both cases the vehicles were found off the road in a area that did not increase the risk of harm to public or themselves, such as a tavern parking lot.…
