The Chemical Safety Board (CSB), who responds to only the most serious chemical related accidents, has reported 120 laboratory accidents resulting in 87 evacuations, 96 serious injuries and three deaths since 2001 (Mulcahy, Young, Gibson, Hildreth, Ashbrook, Izzo & Backus, 2012). Every year thousands of students and faculty working in research laboratories experience the pain and suffering of minor accidents, injuries and illnesses. Hundreds suffer serious injuries and on average one researcher…

New method of synthesis of oligoetherols with carbazole ring Renata Lubczak Abstract: The new method of synthesis of multifuntional oligoetherols with carbazole ring suitable for obtaining the polyurethane foams of enhanced thermal resistance was presented. At the first step of the synthesis the carbazole was reacted with excess glycidol to obtain the product of (n +1) functionality, where n is number of equivalents of glycidol reacted with carbazole. Carbazole reacts with glycidol without…

Experiment #6: Polarimetry Resolution of (∓)-Racemate: (∓)-ɑ-Phenylethylamine OBJECTIVE All chiral molecules have a mirror image of themselves. While they have the same physical properties, they interact with other chiral molecules completely different. Since there are many chiral molecules in organics, this can lead to the need to make optically pure products. If the chemist does not, it can lead to many problems including death. In this experiment, the separation of two enantiomers was…

A small burette funnel was filled with column packing solvent at mobile phase, high boiling petroleum, in this case hexane (and then 10%acetone hexane mixture), and Alumina as stationary phase. When adding the sand and the alumina they have to be first mixed with the hexanes in order not to disturb the column. The Lycopene is Red- Orange and more attracted to alumina due to its high degree of Unsaturation, which can be expected to be eluted after Yellow-Orange Carotene pigments. And the other…

pharmaceuticals you have to deal with mixing substances together, knowing how much to put in every dosage, acids and bases, matter, chemical and physical properties, and etc. Pharmaceuticals are made of elements that are apart of the periodic table. That happens when combining two or more elements together causing a chemicals reaction. Also in chemistry is a law called the Law of Conservation of Matter which is used to determine chemical composition in compounds and chemical reactions. To…

goals of this experiment was to find the unknown compound, to discover the compounds chemical and physical properties and create two synthesis of the compound and compare the two compounds. We found out our compound was ionic because the compound dissolved in water, but not in toluene or acetone by using a solubility test, results on Table 1 of the group lab report. On page 59 of the Cooperative Chemistry Laboratory Manual is a chart on suggested liquids and the inference if the compound is…

The ultimate purpose of this lab is to find how much copper is in brass using the visible spectroscopy, in addition to the introduction of Beer’s law, a physical law that can be utilized to determine the unknown concentration of a metal ion in a solution if its absorbance is calculated; you can accurately measure it by means of a standard graph called a calibration curve. Also colorimetry, a technique “used to determine the concentration of colored compounds in solution” (Housecroft, Catherine)…

factors that controls the ability of pathogens to proliferate in foods. In addition, real mayonnaise doesn't spoil quickly since a lot of vinegar is added to the mixture. This is the main reason that the mayonnaise formed in the first place. 2. What physical characteristic is particularly enhanced by procedure…

quantum mechanics explains the behavior of the particles, such as photons (particles of light) and electrons, in the atomic and subatomic realms. Since the electrons of an atom determine many of its chemical and physical properties, quantum mechanics is foundational to understanding chemistry. Quantum-Mechanical Model- a model that explains the strange behavior of electrons Electromagnetic Radiation- a type of energy embodied in oscillating electric and magnetic fields Amplitude- (of a wave) is…

in container 3, solubility tests, cation tests, anion tests, and conductivity tests can be used to determine the various properties of the unknown to then make a positive identification of the unknown. These results will not only show chemical and physical properties but also what the unknown compound might react with to form other compounds. After performing the four anion tests, a positive identification was able to be made showing that the unknown compound contained a chloride ion since a…
