The dehydration of Cyclohexanol requires going through an acid-catalyzed elimination of water for the synthesis of cyclohexane from cyclohexanol. To get cyclohexane from cyclohexanol you must remove the cycloalkane with fractional distillation, drying with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and analyzed by GC data and the bromine test. The reaction we are trying to accomplish going from cyclohexanol to cyclohexene is a secondary alcohol going through an E1 reaction. This is the unimolecular…

fertilizers, rodenticides, and food preservatives.Turbidity is caused by sediment or other pollutants and causes the water to appear murky or cloudy. (2008) The pH can be changed by some of the rocks in the water, such as limestone which neutralizes the acid in the water. (Oram, no date) “Nitrates are forms of nitrogen and is found in several different forms in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems”. Nitrates in the water are caused by wastewater treatment plants, runoff from fertilized yards,…

is controlled by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland by a buffering system. A buffer solution is used to maintain the pH at a safe acidity. “A buffer solution is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid” (Boundless, 2010) Equation 1 – Generic Buffer Equation HA (aq) + H2O (l) --> H3O+(aq) + A-(aq) Note that equation 1 is reversible, and all equations that are reversible have to be at a state of.equilibrium.…

Explain the results you obtained using a piece of muscle and a piece of potato?. Both the test tubes will show decomposition of hydrogen peroxide because both potato and uncooked ham have catalase enzymes. 5. What effect did acetic acid (vinegar) have on the reaction? Why? The catalase enzyme works best at pH 7 but it can perform well between 6.8 to 7.5. A 0.1 M Vinegar has a pH approximately 3. 2cm of them should have reduced the pH from 7 interfering with the breakdown of hydrogen…

Results showed that the basic amino acids for sea bass fillets were glutamic acid, aspartic acid and lysine. The amount of methionine, tyrosine and histidine were lower than the other amino acids. Similar to the data obtained by Ozden and Erkan (2008). Fish are quite rich in lysine (Ozden and Erkan, 2008) and other reported that the main amino acids in sea bass were aspartic acid, glutamic acid and lysine also, The changes in amino acid contents in fish muscle were affected by spawning…

Hot packs and cold packs are a useful item when it comes to treating injuries. Inside a pack is salt and a certain amount of water. When you break the pack, the salt mixes with the water causing a reaction that either increases or decreases the temperature. When these salts dissolve in the water it creates a reaction that is either endothermic or exothermic. Endothermic is the absorption of heat. This is when the pack gets hotter. Exothermic is the release of heat. This is when the pack gets…

experiment was to measure how much the pH changes when an individual adds a certain amount of acid or base to water, biological buffers, and other biological solutions. It is vital to study the changes in pH because a slight change in pH in an organism’s body can disrupt metabolism activities and even cause death. To accomplish the purpose of the experiment, an individual will add certain amounts of acid or base to water, biological buffers, or other biological solutions. pH is a measure to…

Fruit Spoilage Lab Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to see if lemon juice has an effect on fruit turning brown. When fruit is exposed to the air, it turns brown so the target of the lab was to try and prevent discoloration of the fruit. Using lemon juice and water, apples and bananas were tested to find if the chemicals really did prevent brown coloring from appearing on the fruit. With the lemon juice as the independent variable and the apples and bananas as the dependent variable, the…

Discussion of results: Multiple tests were done in order to identify and then confirm the identity of an unknown substance. The tests done to identify the compound included preliminary tests, solubility tests, and testing for anions and cations. In order to confirm the identity found, reactivity tests were then completed. The first test performed was a preliminary test that simply showed that the unknown compound was a powdery, white solid with no smell. A qualitative solubility test was…
