    A reflux condenser was assembled using a 25-mL round-bottom flask, hot plate, and aluminum block. It was equipped with a drying tube filled with calcium chloride to control vapors. Approximately 2.5 mL of isopentyl alcohol was massed and placed in the round-bottom flask that contained a stir bar. Using the same graduated cylinder, about 3.5 mL of glacial acetic acid was added to the flask. A calibrated Pasteur pipet was used to add 0.5 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid to the flask and the flask was mixed immediately. The flask was connected to the apparatus and covered with aluminum foil to help retain heat. Using rubber tubing, water was circulated into the lower attachment and out the top attachment and the mixture was brought to a boil. After heating under reflux for 60-75 minutes, the flask was removed from the heating source and left to cool down to room temperature. The reaction mixture from the flask was transferred to a culture tube and 5-mL of water was added. Upon addition of water, careful shaking, and occasional venting, the phases separated and the lower aqueous layer was removed and discarded. Using the same procedure as explained above with water, 2.5 mL of aqueous sodium bicarbonate was added and the lower aqueous layer was again removed and discarded. The same procedure was repeated one last time with 2.5 mL of saturated aqueous sodium chloride and the lower aqueous layer was removed and discarded, leaving behind the crude ester. The crude ester was transferred to…

    We have set out on our voyage in the blistering cold England weather. This is not the smoothest start for a hopeful wondrous adventure, but I have my homemade Weasel coffee to help me stay awake. Nonetheless, I have brought all the tools I possess. Today my team of scientists will use the Buchanan Water Sampler to test the carbonic acids in the water, but before we embark on this journey I have noticed that this vessel is remarkable. Yes my room is very small, but the laboratories are really modernized. As we set sail some of the many navigators were using the anemometer to test the winds so we do not get blown of course. As fascinating as my first voyage may be I could not be oblivious as to why I was chosen to be here. A couple hours into our mission the Captain, Wyville Thomas, ordered all of the chemists, physicists, and biologists to test their instruments to make sure everything was properly working. My team was ready to use the Buchanan Water Sampler. We opened both hatchets were the water will pour into. I put it into the ocean and after it was filled I quickly yet carefully closed it. Afterwards my team and I went down to the Carbonic Acid Analysis Apparatus. We plan to boil the water and then trap the evaporated gas that will be steamed into the air. The left over gases will be analyzed using chemical titration. Which result for us to better understand the properties of the ocean. I cannot wait until what tomorrow has in…

    Gangs run the streets in South Central Los Angeles. They are respected, dangerous, and feared by all who are not involved in gang activity. Two major Los Angeles gangs are the “Bloodz” and the “Crips”. These two gangs are professionals at what they do such as murder, drug trafficking, and avoiding law enforcement. Protecting their territory and fellow gang members resulted in one hundred twenty eight homicides in South Central Los Angeles (Tamara). Gangs run all across the country and one million people estimated are involved with gangs and gang activity.
