Stereochemistry (Reaction of Haloalkanes) Stereoisomers are compounds having the same molecular formula but they are different in the special arrangement. Stereoisomers fall into two main categories Geometric isomers- This is further subdivided into cis and trans isomers. Optical Isomers In this section, we will discuss the optical isomers and how their involvement in the reactions of haloalkanes. Optical Isomers Optical isomers are compounds having the same molecular formula but they differ in…

Introduction: Corrosion, otherwise called rusting is defined as a natural process that changes over a refined metal to a more chemically stable shape, for example, its oxide, hydroxide, or sulfide. It is the slow destruction of materials (generally metals) by a chemical reaction caused by the environment. Corrosion is basic to ponder in two perspectives. Right off the bat, financial, which including the lessening of material misfortunes coming about because of the squandering ceaselessly or…

ii. Non-Acidic Oxygen Compounds Figure 3.4 Isomers of non-acidic oxygen compounds (Retrieved from Chemistry of Petrochemical Processes, 2nd Edition, 2001). C .Asphlathenes It is organometallic compounds and inorganic salts (metallic compounds). Mostly sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, iron, vanadium, nickel are present either as inorganic salts, such as sodium and magnesium chlorides, or in the form of organometallic compounds, such as those of nickel and vanadium (as in porphyrins).…

Carbohydrates are biological molecules made up of organic substances such as Oxygen, Hydrogen and Carbon (Rapidlearningcenter.com 2015). They normally have a two to one hydrogen to oxygen ratio and can be classified by the empirical formula Cm (H20)n where m and n could be possibly different. Some biologists refer to carbohydrates as hydrates of carbon and they are technically correct. Alternately, there is no possible empirical formula that can describe lipids. Lipid must be identified…

Gallium is one of those elements that is used in industry every day. Gallium was discovered in Paris at the private laboratory of Paul-Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran (1831-1912) at 3 a.m. on August, 1875. He observed a new violet line in the atomic spectrum of some zinc he had extracted from a sample of zinc blende ore (ZnS) from the Pyrenees. He knew it meant that an unknown element was present. Gallium comes from Gallia, the Latin name for France. Gallium also has origins in the Latin word Gallus.…

Elephant’s Toothpaste Experiment Introduction: A chemical reaction is a process in which atoms of the same or different element rearrange themselves to form a new substance. There are 7 ways to tell if a chemical reaction has occurred; if there are gas bubbles forming, if a precipitate is forming, if the colour has changed, if the temperature has changed, if the volume has changed, if it is giving out light and if there is a change in smell or taste. In a chemical reaction heat is either…

Gunpowder is one of china’s four greatest inventions. Gunpowder is an ancient chemical explosive that was accidently created by Chinese Taoists who were attempting to create a portion of immortality by combining salt peter, sulfur, and charcoal. There are multiple types of gun powder: Black powder (organic), black powder (modern / synthetic), cordite, smokeless ball powder (aka spherical powder), smokeless flake powder (found in shot shells), and smokeless stick powder (aka extruded powder).…

This substantial distinction prompts to the loss of an electron from the less electronegative particle and the pickup of that electron by the more electronegative molecule, bringing about two particles. These oppositely charged particles feel a fascination in each other, and this electrostatic fascination constitutes an ionic bond. Ionic holding happens between a nonmetal, which goes about as an electron acceptor, and a metal, which goes about as an electron contributor. Metals have few valence…

explode if contaminated with hydrazine, which reacts with the inadvertent introduction of nitrogen tetroxide. Concentrated acids can explode if water is poured into the acid. It should be poured into the water instead. Hydrogen can be explosive if there is a combination of accumulated hydrogen in battery/ under a vehicle's hood and a spark/ open flame. (Hammer and Price, 2001, p. 429). Question 4- Seven rules for use of respiratory protective equipment are: I. Personnel required to use…

She was a British-born American Astronomer who viewed the spectra of the stellar and solar atmospheres differently than the accepted wisdom of the time. Payne discovered that the stars were composed of mainly Hydrogen and Helium and that they could be classified according to their temperatures. She explained why there were 7 consistently formed absorption patterns from the known stars at the time. She hypothesized that they weren’t created by different combinations…
