Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction was discovered by Otto Diels and Kurt Alder and is very useful in the synthesis of polycyclic compounds. The Diels-Alder reaction can be described as: [4+2] cycloaddition- a diene with 4 π electrons + 2π electrons from the dienophile; a pericyclic concerted reaction- meaning the reaction occurs in a single step (no intermediates) and involves a cyclic redistribution of bonding electrons. In order for a Diels-Alder reaction to take place the diene must

of gas produced in various reactions. The Ideal Gas Law was needed in order to calculate the mass of reactants and moles of gas produced: ‚ where is the pressure in atm‚ is the volume in Liters‚ is the number of moles‚ is the ideal gas constant [0.082 (Latm)/(Kmol)]‚ and is the temperature in Kelvins. Considering the units on R‚ it was important to convert pressure‚ volume‚ and temperature to atm‚ L‚ and K‚ respectively. In this investigation‚ the volume of reaction space needed to be measured

conducted to find the specific heat of a metal as well as the heat of solution of a solid. Both experiments required the use of calorimetry to measure heat flow and temperature change. The specific heat of the metal was found by heating it in boiling water before transferring it to the calorimeter that was partially filled with water. After shaking the calorimeter‚ the temperature change was measured and recorded. This information was used to calculate the specific heat. The heat of solution of a solid

The Ideal Gas Law Lab taught me that hydrogen is lighter than air‚ and can be ignited. The materials used for the experiment include 0.05 grams of magnesium‚ 1M H2SO4‚ water‚ a 100mL graduated cylinder‚ and a beaker. The hydrogen can be ignited with a match. First‚ the beaker is filled with water. The acid is then added to the graduated cylinder‚ with about ¾ inch left at the top‚ which is space for water. Afterward‚ the magnesium is added to the graduated cylinder‚ and it is inverted upside down

in this report is heat transfer in a concentric tube heat exchanger. A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat from a hot fluid to a colder fluid. Heat exchangers are widely used in the petroleum industry for various reasons. Some of the most important reasons are theta heat exchangers increase the process efficiency‚ conserve energy‚ reduce maintenance and provide employee safety among many other reasons. The main objectives of the lab study were to determine the heat transfer rate‚ the

Burning Money Chemistry Demonstration Principle You soak a note in ethanol (alcohol) and it will burn when lighted‚ leaving the note untouched. This is because alcohol is more flammable‚ and burning alcohol causes it to vaporize‚ along with the water present in the solution. This removes heat from the note and prevents it from reaching its combustion point.

Chemistry (the etymology of the word has been much disputed)[1] is the science of matter and the changes it undergoes. The science of matter is also addressed by physics‚ but while physics takes a more general and fundamental approach‚ chemistry is more specialized‚ being concerned with the composition‚ behavior (or reaction)‚ structure‚ and properties of matter‚ as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions.[2] It is a physical science which studies various substances‚ atoms‚ molecules

Rick Hess was diagnosed with diabetes in his early 40s. When he was in medical school‚ he participated in a study that analyzed insulin. His results were low and a little out of the normal levels. However‚ if he would have known more about the results like they do now‚ it would have predicted he would have become diabetic. In addition to being a diabetic‚ Rick has also had to overcome cerebrovascular disease in his 70s. Rick Hess is now 76 years old. He attended the West Virginia University to

CHAPTER # 1 Q.DEFINE CHEMISTRY. A. Chemistry‚ a branch of physical science‚ is the study of the composition‚ properties and behavior of matter. Chemistry is concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms‚ and particularly with the properties of chemical bonds. Chemistry is also concerned with the interactions between atoms and various forms of energy Q.DEFINE THE BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY. * Physical chemistry is the study of macroscopic‚ atomic‚ subatomic‚ and particulate phenomena
