issue they have is drawing out reaction mechanisms. Knowing how to draw out reaction mechanisms is one of the most, if not the most important part of organic chemistry. When theoretically reacting molecules, one must know not only which molecules react with which, but also which parts of the molecules react with others. Based on their passed test scores, the students really need to work on learning how to draw these mechanisms or they will continue to fail the course. The problem…
5861 What is the identity of the unknown hydrate? Hydrates are pure substances that contain water molecules embedded in their crystal structures. When a hydrate is heated the water molecules evaporate leaving behind a solid known as anhydrous. The identity of a hydrate can be found by finding out the percent water in the hydrate. The experiment was done in a manner to find the percent water in an unknown hydrate to identify the hydrate. The hydrates were BaCL2*2H2O, CuSO4*5H2O, CaCL2*2H2O, and…
Freezing point is the temperature for a particular compound where the liquid freezes to form a solid (Chemistry Dictionary). If salt is added to water, it freezes at lower temperatures. If there are fewer water molecules, then freezing occurs at a slower rate (Salt and the Freezing Point of Water). Pure water freezes at 0º Celsius, but water that is combined with salt will freeze at a temperature less than 0º Celsius (Oleson, Andrew and Daly, Terik). A solvent is something in which other things…
3.2. Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) surface of Pyrazolooxazines. The correlation between the molecular structure and the physicochemical property of molecules, including biological molecules and MESP-based drugs, to distinguish electron rich zones (electrophilic attack) from electron-poor ones (a nucleophilic attack) 16, 17. We represent in this study the molecular surface of the electrostatic potential (MESP), the electrostatic potential (ESP) and the electron density (ED). MESP is a…
from the structure, increasing the number of cross-linked bonds that can form, thus resulting in a stronger structure (Superabsorbent Polymers). It should be noted though that the more cross-linked bonds present, the less surface area for water molecules to bond with, and thus a smaller absorptive…
philosophers began to rationalize about small particles called atoms as the things that make up the universe. As time approached the 18th century, advances in the scientific method gave rise to developing processes to examine the composition of gas molecules and the molecular weights of the atoms that make up chemical compounds. Throughout the rest of 18th century, investigation into chemical species continued and soon experimentation gave rise to laws and theories. One of the most…
Atoms and Mocules I. Aim: - To determine the definition of atoms and molecules and the difference of those notions. - Understanding isotopes, atomic mass, and molecular mass. - Understanding mole concept and molar mass. III. Definitions: 1. Atoms: According to Dalton’s atomic theory, atoms are the basic units of matter and the defining structure of elements. Atoms are made up of three parts: protons (positively charged), neutrons (uncharged) and electrons (negatively charged). For…
or engineers know how much of different kinds of chemicals to use to have reactions that work out right. When chemists want to have a chemical reaction come out they need to know how many molecules of each kind of chemical they have, so they measure the chemicals in moles. A mole is the atomic weight of a molecule of the chemical in grams” ("Propulsion." What Is a Mole?). “The amount of a pure substance is expressed by the SI base unit of the mole”. One mole of a substance contains 6.02 x10^23…
The Motorized Molecules that are driven by ultraviolet light. Were designed to move toward and energy source and drill a hole in the membrane of a cell. In order to drill the drones spin at 3 million RPM. When the hole is completed the drone delivers a drug to kill the cell. Motorized Molecules thought not the original propose for the drones they are known to kill cancerous cells. The Masterminds behind Motorized Molecules were James Tour of Rice, Robert Pal of Durham, Gufeng Wang of North…
The intermolecular forces present in the molecules in 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…
