Hydrogen storage

Acid forming elements are chlorine, phosphorus, and sulfur (different from alkaline-forming elements). These elements are the primary element in foods containing moderate to large amounts of protein (except for milk and a few other dairy products). I decided on using peanut oil because peanuts yield an acid, thus they contain acid-ash. Acid-ash residue is inorganic radicals that form acid ions in the body, causing lower pH making the urine more acidic. Acid urine favors the excretion of kidney…

The objective of this experiment was to study the stereochemistry of the borohydride reduction of camphor. Sodium Borohydride is a reducing agent that is able to reduce ketones and aldehydes. In this case, camphor, which contains a ketone, was reduced with sodium borohydride. Reduction of a carbonyl with sodium borohydride occurs when the hydride ion adds to the carbonyl carbon, breaking the C=O bond and creating a new C-H bond. When the reduction occurs, the hydride transfer will occur on the…

Reduction involves increasing the number of carbon hydrogen bonds by adding hydrogen across a double or triple bond which results in an increase in electron density at the carbon atom. Organic functional groups containing double and triple bonds which undergo reduction are unsaturated. The reduction of the double bond by addition of hydrogen atoms results in the product being fully saturated. Metal hydride reducing agents that have different reactivities toward specific functional groups are…

Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve A oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is a tool used to show the relationship between the saturation of oxygen and the partial pressure of oxygen. It directly tells us how a person own body is utilizing oxygen intake, how carbon dioxide levels are being regulated, as well as how efficient the hemoglobin in our body binds and release oxygen molecules to the appropriate tissues that require it. Normally the oxygen that our tissues need in order to function properly…

Problem Statement: How do different amounts of soil affect the pH of water? Is the relationship the same for different types of soils? Background: PH is a measurement of how many ions of hydrogen are found in a solution. The pH scale measures how alkaline or acidic an object is. The scale has numbers ranging from zero (which are considered the most acidic) to fourteen (the most alkaline, otherwise known as the most basic). Pure water has a pH of seven, however most water, either from the tap or…

Beginning Question: How effectively and efficiently can biphenyl be synthesized by a Suzuki coupling reaction? Claims: Biphenyl synthesized by a Suzuki coupling reaction was effectively isolated and then characterized using TLC, melting point, IR and 1H NMR tests. However, this process was not efficient because it had a poor pure yield of 22%. Evidence: The goal of the experiment was to synthesize biphenyl product by a Microwave-assisted Suzuki reaction and this was carried out using 1…

known as the stationary phase, the solvent mixture, the mobile phase, was added. The solvent mixture moved up the plate via capillary action. Considering different analytes ascend the TLC plate at different rates, due to their varying abilities to hydrogen bond with the stationary phase, the identity of the final products were distinguished (Clark,…

Abstract The Purpose of experiment is to introduce the technique of crystallization, by following methods to purify the antibiotic sulfanilamide away from acetanilide. From the laboratory experiment, 0.51 g of impure sulfanilamide was at first measured and experienced in the crystallization procedure. Because of different steps of the experiment, the last mass of the crystal was 0.22g. This demonstrates the procedure decreased the underlying mass by 0.28g which mean the 43.13% recovery using…

Aluminum is used in many of our household items. From pie pans to pop cans, Aluminum is a very common product. Charles M. Hall is an American Chemist who figured out how to produce aluminum using his electrolytic method. This method allowed aluminum to be mass produced. Hall was born on December 6th, 1863 in Thompson, Ohio. His father was a missionary and minister who was very educated. Education played a big part in his childhood. He read numerous science magazines and articles as a child. He…

benzoate nitration is one of electrophilic aromatic substitution. Nitronium ion will reacts with protonated intermediate at the meta position. After NO2 substituted, it becomes arenium ion intermediate. Then, the remained product HSO4- will attack hydrogen then transfer the proton to methyl 3-benzoate. In the experiment, students placed around 12 drops of concentrated H2SO4 in 10x100nm reaction tube then add around 6 drops of methyl benzoate into the tube.Then, flick it to let the mixture…
