What is Styrofoam? Styrofoam is a brand of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam currently created for thermal insulation and craft applications. Dow Chemical Company retained and produced the Styrofoam. Through petroleum product known as styrene, Styrofoam was created. The styrene is amended into a clear molten mass of polystyrene through a complex chemical process known as polymerization. It would become a hard plastic if it were left to cool. Disposable eating utensils are created from this…

The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize a specific alcohol by using the Grignard reaction. The product is then determined by spectral and physical properties. Introduction The Grignard reaction is one of the most important reactions in organic chemistry. The reaction involves the Grignard reagent, which is formed…

Determination of Most Advantageous Sequestering Agent By: Kayla Jeeter and Ashley Driscoll Chemistry 112-508 Abstract The creation and execution of this project served to determine what material is a better sequestering agent of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are found in Texas’ water. Charcoal is currently the most typical agent used to sequester PAHs. In this experiment, two different Bentonite clays (zeolites) were synthesized, one magnetized and one not, to determine if…

The goal of this experiment was to use chemistry to analyze an unknown compound and through testing its physical and chemical properties determine what unknown compound that was found in a landfill. This would benefit the Environmental Protection Agency because once they know what the substance was they could determine the best way to remove it from the landfill and if there were any potential safety hazards to beware of while handling the substance. This would prevent any accidents that may…

stannic oxide in the older notation, is the inorganic compound with the formula SnO2. The mineral form of SnO2 is called cassiterite, and this is the main ore of tin. With many other names, this oxide of tin is the most important raw material in tin chemistry. This colorless, diamagnetic solid is amphoteric. 1.2 Structure It crystallises with the rutile structure, wherein the tin atoms are six coordinate and the oxygen atoms three coordinate. SnO2 is usually regarded as an oxygen-deficient…

through nanofiltration. Through this type of testing, the rejection of certain organic and inorganic compounds is described regarding their size exclusion and electrostatic effect. (Thanutamoayong, 2002). Through his experiment, he completed analysis tests using UV light and absorption as a means of identifying certain compounds. His results show that the average composition of compounds in drinking water is mainly organic molecules and anions, with a small fraction being cations. His research…

characterized as the branch of chemistry concerned about the three-dimensional course of action of particles and atoms and the impact of this on concoction responses. A critical branch of stereochemistry is the investigation of chiral atoms. Stereochemistry is otherwise called 3D science in light of the fact that the prefix "stereo-" signifies "three-dimensionality". The primary investigation of stereochemistry is on stereoisomers and traverses the whole range of natural, inorganic, organic,…

capability to form inclusion complexes with the guest molecules i.e. poorly water soluble drugs. The formed inclusion complex shows significant changes physicochemical properties of drugs with respect to its solubility and dissolution rate. 2.1.2. Chemistry of cyclodextrins Structural features Three major CDs are crystalline, homogeneous, non-hygroscopic substances, which are torus-like macro-rings built up from glucopyranose units. The a-cyclodextrin (Schardinger’s a-dextrin,…

human health and has been studied over the centuries (Lynch, 2014). The research that has been studied has determined that the chemical form of arsenic found in food products characterizes over 20 different arsenic species (Lynch, 2014). The focus on organic and inorganic arsenic has led to the specific availability of the data in certain food types (Lynch, 2014). Arsenic is a semi-metal that is found in soil, water, and sometimes in the food that is consumed (Lynch, 2014). Consuming arsenic in…
