and not want to drink but the mixing of caffeine and alcohol will cause us to perceive ourselves less intoxicated than we actually are.

Furthermore, alcohol and caffeine are diuretics and mixing both will…
Analysis of aspirin tablets Purpose: Determine the percentage of 2-ethanoylhydroxybenzoic acid in aspirin tablets. Introduction (including background information) : Before creating Aspirin, “sail alba” was used. In 1860’s, chemists discovered that Salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid, C7H6O3 ) is the active acid in sail alba. Salicylic acid is relatively strong though. It can irritate and damage the stomach membranes and mouth. In 1889, ethanoate ester of salicylic acid was introduced by the…
Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the product that is produced from sodium hypochlorite oxidizing 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol and this experiment is to also determine if sodium hypochlorite is a selective oxidizing agent. This reaction is an oxidation reaction. The reaction involves the removal hydrogens and sometimes the addition of oxygen. 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol will undergo an oxidation reaction to produce an unknown product (Scheme 1). (1) Scheme 1.…
countries at the age of 16. Drinking is one of the problems today that it should be fixed because it will affect negativity to our community. Alcoholism can be fix in many ways by getting help from someone else. How drinking affects you and others? ‘’Alcohol consumption can interfere…

Studies have exhibited genetics as a role in alcoholism, almost forcing it as a tradition upon my family. Social factors also are behind this disease that can cripple lives.

Abstract. In this work investigation for the effect of compressed CO2 on the morphology of the produced Polyaniline (PANI) was carried out. The conventional oxidative polymerization using ammonium peroxydisulfate as oxidizing agent was used with and without compressed CO2. The results showed that different morphologies of PANI nanorods and PANI nanoparticles were produced using the conventional polymerization with and without compressed CO2 respectively. Molecular characterization of the…
