In experiment 2, we observed that the reaction of halogenoalkanes with aqueous alkali and water which contains dissolved silver nitrate. Halogenoalkanes are alkanes which have one or more hydrogen atoms replaced by halogen atoms such as fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I) which are the elements in group 7 in periodic table. Halogenoalkanes have the general formula, RX, whereby R is an alkyl or substituted alkyl group and X is any of the halogen atom. Besides, halogenoalkanes…

In a chemical equation, there are the reactants, which is the part that is changed, and the products, which is what is left over. The reactant side and the product side must have the same quantity of each element. If they do not, the equation must be balanced by using coefficients. Mole ratios can be found by using these coefficients. Mole ratios are conversion factors and can be used to found the amounts of the reactants and the products in a chemical reaction. These can also be used to find…

ABSTRACT Within this experiment, the use of a bomb calorimeter was required in order to determine the heat capacity of the system through the combustion of three separate trials of benzoic acid. The resulting heat capacity values for each trial were averaged, with a standard deviation found as well. This was then used to work backwards, for a naphthalene trial, in order to calculate the change in energy (∆U) and the change of enthalpy (∆H). The accepted value for the change in enthalpy of…

of the compounds Germanium is in is Germanium hydride. Compounds don’t have symbols but they have formulas. Germanium hydride’s formula is GeH4. The 4 represents the subscript. A subscript is how many parts it is, so Germanium hydride is 4 parts hydrogen and 1 part Germanium. The uses for germanium are camera lenses, semiconductors, fluorescent lamps, and alloys. Germanium has a total of twenty five isotopes and only five are stable. Germanium’s compounds can cause pain and redness to eyes and…

reaction between silver and hydrogen sulfide, producing silver sulfide and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation is 2Ag (s) + H2S (g) → Ag2S (s) + H2. This is a single replacement reaction. This reaction most commonly occurs through contact with hydrogen sulfide in the air - although direct contact with substances that contain sulfur can cause tarnishing. Silver tarnishes very quickly when it is exposed to air that contains high levels of ozone, sulfur, or hydrogen sulfide. Silver…

Buoy 21, Day Mark 1, Pelican Island Cut, and the Coast Guard Station. The main ingredient in saltwater is water. Water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom that are covalently bonded and forms a polar molecule because the electrons are shared unequally. The unequal distribution causes the oxygen atom to have a negative pole and the two hydrogen atoms have a positive pole. The polarity of water makes it unique and allows it to perform as a solvent (Duke University, n.d.). Since…

different products: 1-heptene, Cis-2-heptene and Trans-2-heptene. However, the major product constituent was 1-heptene. Because Potassium TertButoxide is a bulky base, steric hindrance prevents it from attacking a hydrogen on a highly substituted carbon. Consequently, the base attacks a hydrogen on the least substituted carbon (primary carbon). In this case, steric hindrance is reduced and the elimination reaction is faster, so a less substituted alkene is more favored, and becomes the major…

Step (1a) include only dispersion forces, because each of the compounds are non-polar. In Step (1b), there are dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding, and dipole-dipole forces. Dispersion forces occur in all compounds, hydrogen bonding occurs between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms within each of the compounds, and there is also a dipole movement between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. There is a correlation between IMFs and volatilities, as the stronger intermolecular forces tend to evaporate the…

chlorosulfite then reacts with a nucleophilic chloride ion, at which point the chlorosulfite leaves in the form of sulfur dioxide and chloride ion. The remaining acid chloride then reacts with diethylamine. Diethylamine is used in excess to neutralize the hydrogen chloride produced in the reaction. The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom performs a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon, while a pair of electrons in the double bond is pushed to the oxygen atom. When an electron pair…

Neon is one of the world’s rare and most expensive elements. I chose Neon because of it's uniqueness. In 1898, William Ramsay and Morris Travers at University College London isolated krypton gas by evaporating liquid argon. They had been expecting to find a lighter gas which would fit a niche above argon in the periodic table of the elements. They then repeated their experiment, that time allowing solid argon to evaporate at a slow pace under reduced pressure and collected the gas which came off…
