Aldol In this preparative lab‚ an aldol (trans-p-anisalacetophenone) was produced from the reaction between p-anisaldehyde and acetophenone with the presence sodium hydroxide. The reaction also showed the importance of an enolate and the role it played in the mechanism. Sodium hydroxide acts as a catalyst in this experiment and is chosen because of its basic conditions and pH. The acetophenone carries an alpha hydrogen that has a pKa between 18 and 20. This alpha hydrogen is acidic because of its

An investigation in to the rate of reaction Plan: I am going to investigate the rate of reaction. The reaction I will be using is: Calcium Carbonate + Hydrochloric acid ---- Calcium Chloride + water + carbon dioxide. CaCO3 + 2HCl ---- CaCl +H2O + CO2 Measurements and Variables: The variables I have chosen to change is strength of the hydrochloric acid which will be 1 mole‚ 0.7 mole‚ 0.5 mole‚ 0.3 mole and 0.1 mole some variable I will not be using are temperature‚ mass‚ density. The measurements

BIOL2220 Lab 3: Hill Reaction Introduction In 1937‚ Robert Hill discovered that isolated chloroplasts can generate oxygen when they are illuminated in the presence of a suitable electron acceptor‚ even in the absence of carbon dioxide. This finding was a landmark in the study of photosynthesis because it established that the source of the electrons used in the light reactions is water. It also confirmed that the released oxygen is derived from water instead of carbon dioxide. In chloroplasts

then up to the Baltic States. This horrifying mass murderous disease took the lives of 75 million people‚ something that shook the lives of everyone during the Middle Ages. This epidemic affected the social‚ economic‚ and religious aspects of the medieval culture. However‚ the religious changes were the biggest switch in the Middle Ages culture that affected the beliefs in the Modern Era. Therefore‚ the social and economic shifts were the least important. The social transformation after the Black Death

Reaction Paper I watched this movie entitled “Real Steel”. This story revolves around the father‚ the son whom he abandoned and the robot that the boy found. After watching the movie‚ and applying the concept of leadership into it‚ I may say that the true leader is the boy and the new leader is his father. In that movie‚ the eleven year old boy was able to stand for what he believes‚ to fight for what he loves‚ to influence a person towards a goal and brings out the best in him. Though he is

Coupled Reactions ABSTRACT A way to drive a non-spontaneous reaction forward is by coupling it with another reaction that is highly spontaneous‚ resulting to a spontaneous overall reaction. In this study‚ since the extraction of C(s) from CO2(s) is a non-spontaneous process‚ it was coupled with the oxide formation reaction of Mg‚ a reaction with high spontaneity‚ so that the process of the extraction of C(s) would proceed. The reactions and products which were a mix of black and white

The Middle Ages or “The Dark Ages”‚ has quite a negative connotation‚ but is not quite as dark as you would think. The Dark Ages are referred to as the period of time during the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Specifically‚ The 16th century was a very pivotal time in history that began in the year of 1501 AD and had changed the world from that point on. Many important events from within the century have shaped our world to be the way it is. One being in 1531 when the Church of England broke free
