Sodium compounds

Some of the largest contributors to volatile organic compound emissions are carpet, mattresses, particle board, wood stain, and paint. When it is time, there are many natural mattresses, stains, and paints available that have no or low amounts volatile organic compounds. Flooring should be replaced with hardwood, lament, or stone. These flooring options do not require adhesive or synthetic materials and are easily…

Identifying Unknown Substance. Examining the physical characteristics of the available compounds in the lab was how possible compounds were eliminated from any or further testing. Based on how the compounds physically looked, it was almost for certain that calcium chloride was the unknown compound. However, another compound was used to test as well (ammonium chloride) since relying only on physical characteristics alone would not allow for proper experimentation. The unknown ended up being…

I am a mixture. A mixture of the habits I have developed from those closest to me, the cultures of my ancestors and my parents, along with interests that are ever growing. Among these there are a few that were instrumental in the discovery of both myself and what my future held in store. For the past 17 years I have grown up in a household that was much larger than one roof could cover. I was raised by my parents, my tías, and my teachers, and from each have learned something valuable. Through…

The aroma of ledum essential oil reminds me of the forest after a summer shower. It is strongly woody, a little wild and herbal, and just a bit astringent. A member of the heather family, this aromatic herb originates in North America and is also known as Labrador tea. For centuries, this plant was used in folk medicine as a tonic and an early treatment for colds, scurvy, and kidney issues. About Ledum Essential Oil Ledum oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of the Rhododendron…

the process by which a three-component mixture was separated and identified. The mixture was separated with the aid of a separatory funnel and various solvents acids and bases. The compound was found to be comprised of meta-nitroaniline, naphthalene, and benzoic acid / 2-napthol. All three of them are organic compounds with melting points in the order they were listed 111-114, 79-82 and 121-122/121-123 °C. the percent yield of each component was also calculated at the end based on the initial…

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” This is a powerful quote by Maya Angelou that can be applied to daily life, but also to the complicated world of marketing products in national companies. The main idea of marketing is to capture how certain products make people feel and how business owners can use that knowledge to sell their products. The well-known American retail store Bath and Body Works…

solubility test was conducted on all compounds. Because they were all ionic, every known compound naturally dissolved in water, and conducted electricity. As the next determining factor in the process to identify the unknown substance, the compounds were tested in acetone. As seen in table 2, only one compound, Ca(NO3)2 was found to be soluble in this solvent. Because the unknown solid was insoluble in acetone, Ca(NO3)2 was then eliminated as a possible inorganic compound. The flame test did not…

Acme Products, Inc., requires a new machine to produce a part for a heat generator. Two companies have submitted bids, and you have been assigned the task of choosing one of the machines. Cash flow analysis indicates the following: Year Machine A Machine B ---- --------- --------- 0 -$1,000 -$1,000 1 0 417…

Phenacetin would mainly be in the cytosol. Our predictions were not very off. In fact, we were pretty on point thanks to the pre-lab work. We learned how to determine the polarity of the compounds from their chemical structure. We knew the order of the most hydrophilic compound and the most hydrophobic compound. Although we didn’t not complete three reliable trails, we were on point with the prediction and that makes me feel confident in the results. This experiment helped us…

Extraction was the main method of removing compounds from the sample. The component X was removed from the sample by first adding the organic solvent dichloromethane to the test tube. After aggravation, the component X dissolved into the solvent. Since components Y and Z were insoluble in the organic solvent they remained as solids. The test tube was then placed into a centrifuge and ran for thirty seconds. By doing so, the unsettled solid were forced to accumulate at the bottom of the test tube…
