Wang Experiment #4 Recrystallization of Pure Phthalic Acid‚ Benzoic Acid and Napthalene Introduction Recrystallization is a important method in purifying organic compounds which are solid. It is an effective method that is important to be familiar with that is essential in the industrial chemical world. This experiment will allow students to be familiarized with the technique of recrystallization by working with phtalic acid‚ benzoic acid and naphthalene from appropriate organic solvents.

Changing the Rate of Reaction PART 1: PARTICLE SIZE Question: How does changing the particle size of marble (CaCO3) affect the rate of reaction when it is added to hydrochloric acid (HCl)? Hypothesis: If I change the particle size of marble to test how to change the rate of a chemical reaction‚ than the chemical reaction with the smallest marble particles will produce CO2 the quickest because the larger the surface area‚ the more place the hydrochloric acid will have to collide with the marble

Acid Rain Definition: The term acid rain refers to what scientists call acid deposition. It is caused by airborne acidic pollutants and has highly destructive results. Scientists first discovered acid rain in 1852‚ when the English chemist Robert Agnus invented the term. From then until now‚ acid rain has been an issue of intense debate among scientists and policy makers. Acid rain‚ one of the most important environmental problems of all‚ cannot be seen. The invisible gases that cause acid

EXPERIMENT 2 ACID DISSOCIATION CONSTANT OF AN INDICATOR DYE OBJECTIVES Using spectrophotometric method: determine the wavelengths at which the acid and base forms of the dye in aqueous medium exhibit maximum absorption; determine the molar absorptivities of the acid and base forms of the dye and estimate an unknown concentration of the dye in solution using the Beer-Lambert’s Law; and determine the acid dissociation constant of the indicator dye. THEORY The absorption or reflection of

Anissa Davis 32130161 The Industrial Process of Sulphuric Acid6 The contact process: At the heart of this process is a reversible reaction in which sulphur dioxide is converted to sulphur trioxide‚ but first you have to produce sulphur dioxide. Stage 1: Making sulphur dioxide Either burn sulphur in air: S (s) + O₂ →SO₂(g) Or heat sulphide ores strongly in air: 4F eS₂(s) + 11O2(g)→2F e₂O₃(s) + 8SO₂(g) Stage 2: Making sulphur trioxide Now the sulphur dioxide is converted into sulphur trioxide using an excess of air

ABSTRACT Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) problems are the most important environmental problems in sulphide mines especially mines which contain pyrite. Oxidation of sulphides in contact with air and water produces sulphuric acid which reduces the pH of water. The result of these reactions is increase in the solubility of heavy metals and consequently pollution of water resources. The Sarcheshmeh copper mine is one of the largest porphyry copper mines in the world which is located in south-eastern Iran

considered that rain is acid? = The pH scale measures how acidic an object is‚ when pH is lower than 7 rain is considered acid. b) Which are the compounds that in contact with water origin acid rain? = Compounds like sulfur sulphuric and nitric acids. c) Which are the principal causes of these compounds? = The extra acidity in rain comes from the reaction of primary air pollutants‚ primarily sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides‚ with water in the air to form strong acids. The main sources of

Economy - overviewzz Philippine GDP grew 7.6% in 2010‚ spurred by consumer demand‚ a rebound in exports and investments‚ and election-related spending‚ before cooling to 3.7% in 2011. The economy weathered the 2008-09 global recession better than its regional peers due to minimal exposure to troubled international securities‚ lower dependence on exports‚ relatively resilient domestic consumption‚ large remittances from four- to five-million overseas Filipino workers‚ and a growing business process
