Ethanol

The last rays of sun streaked through the purple clouds at a sharp angle as I cut behind the old warehouse. I jammed my hands in the pockets of my worn denim jacket and skirted the thin line of trees headed toward the Ordox. The Ordox was nothing really; just a clearing beside the tracks behind mostly abandoned factories. Sheltered from view by the old buildings, the hard packed dirt and cracked concrete looked like a moonscape. It was another world; our world. In the fading light, I could…

"Prohibition has made nothing but trouble."- Al Capone. Alcohol was made illegal in the United States in 1920. Not very many people agreed nor followed that law. With so many people being rebellious, it made bootlegging into a big business and made many rich. Getting alcohol during prohibition could be as easy as walking to your neighbors house and picking it up. Law officials took bribes and even had their own stash of alcohol. The eighteenth amendment was hard to enforce due to the…

The Roaring 1920’s Much like the month of March, the 1920’s roared in like a lion, and went out like a lamb… well, maybe more like lamb chops, as the economy and morale of the country were utterly slaughtered by the end of the decade. America’s short official involvement in World War I had fortified the economy with wartime industry and increasingly productive technologies supporting manufacturing. Business was soaring and the stock markets followed suit, with an unprecedented surge that…

As always the people of Earth enjoy disobeying the government and as more laws are passed the people will always attempt to find a loophole or simply disregard it to go have fun in creating chaos doing, according to most rebels “Fun things.” Obviously during this huge time lapse Americans did have a good time being themselves and getting drunk in their secret speakeasies; also considering the fact that these people had to keep it on the down low, being careful with the people they consider…

This study involves the use of redox titration to determine the amount of oxalic acid in the sample solution. The analyte solution containing oxalic acid was added with sulfuric acid and heated prior to the titration with permanganate. The persistent pink color signaled the end of the titration. The amount of the oxalic acid in the solution was found to be 8.941%. The redox titration was precise in the quantification of oxalic acid with a standard deviation of 1.327%. Introduction One of the…
