Chris CXXXX Organic Chemistry Lab Dr. Lyn XXXX 2 February 2012 Esterification of Isopentyl Alcohol to Isopentyl Acetate Procedure The technique for esterification that was employed in the experiment was to use a reflux apparatus (Figure 1) while heating in order to evaporate out water to drive our reaction into the product favored direction. The starting material of isopentyl alcohol (1.0 mL) and excess glacial acetic acid(1.5 mL‚ 17.6M) were eppendorf pipetted into a 5 mL conical vile. This

In the first paragraph of Joan Didion’s essay "Los Angeles Notebook"‚ Joan Didion seems to be anticipating the Santa Ana winds. She sees the winds as destructive; physically and emotionally. She uses diction‚ imagery‚ syntax and detail to show this feeling. Joan Didion’s diction and imagery throughout the story creates danger‚ tension and mysteriousness. In the first paragraph‚ she describes the wind as "uneasy" and "tense". She states that the wind "whines" through the canyons and "dries the nerves

Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to produce isopentyl acetate‚ banana oil. Acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol were used to synthesize isopentyl acetate. The techniques used for the separation and purification of isopentyl acetate were reflux‚ liquid-liquid extraction‚ neutralization and distillation. The identification of isopentyl acetate was based on boiling points and an infrared spectrum. This experiment resulted in a 11.68% yield. The reactants

ANA Debate “Why should nurses discuss the pos and cons of abortion? It’s up to the government and to the church to adopt a position‚ not the nurse”. Although‚ these comments reflect the attitudes of some professional people‚ there are a number of reasons why the nurse cannot ignore the question of abortion: relatively safe abortion is now a reality; laws have changed to make abortion readily available; increasing numbers of women will seek abortion; and nurses are frequently and directly involved
