Oxidizing agent

The development of simple methods for generating molecular complexity with defined stereochemistry from easily accessible starting materials became significant and fascinating over last few decades. A simple methoxyphenol is found to be most appropriate precursor for generating wide range of complex cyclic and acyclic architectures. Several chemical1-5 and electrochemical methods6 have been used for the umpolung of electron-rich nucleophilic 2-methoxyphenols and 4-methoxyphenols to electrophilic…

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble compound similar to glucose. Although fairly stable in acidic solution, it is usually the least stable of the vitamins and is very sensitive to light, heat and air, which stimulate the activity of oxidative enzymes. A very important function of the vitamin C is to maintain activity in the collagen, a protein necessary for the formation of the connective tissue of the skin, ligaments and bones. Vitamin C plays an important role in the…

This essay will be talking about Reactions and how it affects substances.A reaction is a chemical process in which two or more substances act on each other and are changed into different substances, or one substance changes into other substances.There are eight reactions we will be talking about and they are Decomposition,Combustion,Acid and Base,Synthesis,Single-replacement,Double-replacement,Precipitation,and Redox.In the world today there are many reactions out their but we will only be…

Calcium chlorate is a very dangerous chemical. It has the ability to harm whoever is around it. It is important to be extremely cautious and pay close attention to what you are doing when working with this product. This chemical may seem a bit scary because of the negative effects it can have on a person, but there are good things about it too! Calcium chlorate is produced on an industrial scale. It is produced by the chlorination of milk of lime. It is produced by passing chlorine gas through a…

Qn1 Ans Decision tree analysis will involve step determination of the chemical and physical characteristics of this chemical. By knowing them, it will be very easy to determine the best control method to be employed. Firstly, the compound is corrosive and it therefore suggests that it is highly reactive and use of water and any other chemicals that can lead to an undesired chemical reaction will be ruled out. Also, the spilled chemical is producing fumes, mostly it suggests that it is either a…

decomposition of organic matter changes soil property from an oxidizing to as a reducing medium). That’ reason the uptake of radionuclides from soil-to-plant is usually affected by many factors such as, physico-chemical form of radionuclide, plant species, internal translocation mechanisms within the plant, soil characteristics (pH value), isotopic-binding mechanism of soil, fertilizers (potassium or calcium nitrates, phosphate, organic), chelating agents (organic compounds), distribution of…

divalent (chromous) state is readily oxidized to the more stable trivalent (chromic) state. Although the hexavalent state (including chromates) is more stable than the divalent state, it is rarely found in nature. Chromium(VI) compounds are strong oxidizing agents and are highly corrosive.” (RoC Profile). This is a chemical that should not be in contact with humans on a regular basis, but it is and has an awful impact upon their health. This is completely avoidable if cooperations cared about…

Cachou de Laval: This was the first sulfur dye. It is obtained by heating brown coal in a rotary baker with sodium polusulfide and sulfur. It is also made by heating organic refuse with sulfur and sodium sulfide at temoeratures varying from 100⁰-350⁰C. The higher the temperature, the darker the product. Other alternatives intermediates are lignite, sawdust, bran, sulfite cellulose waste liquors (free from calcium), oils, fats and fatty acids. It appears as black hygroscopic lumps or powder. It…

And I find chopsticks frankly distressing. Am I alone in thinking it odd that a people ingenious enough to invent paper, gunpowder, kites and any number of other useful objects, and who have a noble history extending back 3,000 years haven't yet worked out that a pair of knitting needles is no way to capture food?" (Gunpowder quotes), this quote talks about how the Chinese made many great inventions like gunpowder. Gunpowder is very important because it created a weapon of mass destruction that…

Lab report Questions What will happen when zinc is placed in copper (II) sulfate? What will happen when copper is placed in copper (II) sulfate? Prediction It is predicted that when you place zinc and copper (II) sulfate a reaction will occur, resulting in a precipitation. The prediction about the copper (II) sulfate and copper is that nothing will happen. Hypothesis It is hypothesised that when zinc is placed in aqueous copper (II) sulfate, a single displacement reaction will occur as the…
