Salicylic acid’s hydroxyl group readily reacts with acetyl groups in a process called acetylation. The resulting substitution reaction replaces the hydrogen in salicylic acid’s hydroxyl group with an acetyl group thereby forming an ester functional group. This esterification of salicylic acid produces acetylsalicylic acid, or aspirin. Figures 1 and 2 above show the reagents and products involved in the experiment’s esterification of salicylic acid. With excess acetic anhydride and a…

American Sign Language, body language, English, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, and a myriad of programming languages; these are all of the things in which, at one time or another, I attempted to gain literacy. I have always been fascinated with the way people communicate and interact with one another, knowingly or not. Communication, however, is not merely limited to the spoken or written word. In fact, a lot of what we encounter in everyday life does not fall into the traditional realm of language.…

Literacy as defined by the National Assessment of Adult Literacy is the ability to use printed and written information to function in society, to achieve one 's goals, and to develop one 's knowledge and potential. Illiteracy or being illiterate is the exact opposite, it is being unable to read or write successfully. In America illiteracy is a major problem. In fact “illiteracy is such a problem that in our country 44 million adults are unable to read a simple story to their children”…

Introduction Molecular orbital theory allows for the relation between the nature of chemical bonds and the properties of molecules.1 Many times, the frontier molecular orbitals, named HOMO and LUMO, are analyzed in order to predict these properties. In this lab, each double bond corresponds to a molecular orbital. The HOMO, or highest occupied molecular orbital is the most energetic (highest n-value) orbital that contains an electron. The n-value is equal to the number of double bonds present.…

This experiment was conducted to practice a variety of techniques in organic chemistry: separation, mechanisms, acid-base reactions, evaporation, recrystallization, and identification. The goal of this experiment was to identify the unknown mixture of two compounds. The two compounds were separated first by altering the acid components solubility through deprotonation, and then protonating the acid component again to form the separated precipitate. The ether in the neutral layer was evaporated,…

applicability of the languages for each criterion, distinguish them with their pros and cons, evaluate and explore the related features on those languages. For this I have selected one language from each programming paradigm (imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic) and compared it with the Iterative statements feature. The comparing and contrasting is based on the following design characteristics: • Syntax • Semantics • Readability, writeability, reliability • Implementation (i.e., how…

As it was demonstrated in Figure 2, the peaks at 1703 and 1727 cm-1 in the MPS-comprising nanohybrids appeared, while the peak at 1745 cm-1 vanished. Through the formation of MPS-comprising nanohybrids, the observation of the new absorption bands (1707 and 1727 cm-1 ) concomitant of the absorption at 1733 cm-1 may be owing to the formation of ester groups through the reaction between carboxylic acid groups of PAA oligomers and silanol groups of silica moieties 12. Besides, in SiO2/PAA hybrids,…

The importance of literacy in a person’s life is very important, the ability to read and write. If a person does not know how to read or write how is someone going to know what signs say. Also when people go to a job interview and a manager gives the person the job and they pay that person less then what they are supposed to be paying the person. Also, what about when you get a paper in the mail and they are giving you money how are you supposed to know is that Being independent and not asking…

2.7 Styrene Butadiene Rubber Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) belongs to the synthetic rubbers families that are derived from Styrene and Butadiene.[53] SBR is an aqueous dispersion of (25%) Styrene (CH2=CHC6H5) and (75%) Butadiene (CH2=CH-CH=CH2) copolymer as shown in Figure (2-1). The copolymerization of these two polymers may done by different ways. Mostly they copolymerized in an emulsion process, by dispersing a soap like surface acting agent where the materials are in water solution.[54]…

1. INTRODUCTION Thiosemicarbazone is a derivative of imine which is formed when an aldehyde/ketone reacts with a thiosemicarbzide through a condensation reaction. The presence of the hetero atoms like Sulphur and Nitrogen makes these derivatives biologically active. Lately, great emphasis is laid on the synthesis and development of these derivatives reason being the wide variety of pharmacological activities exhibited by them. So far, thiosemicarbazones have been shown to exhibit analgesic and…
