Chemistry Revision F331 Isotopes - atoms with the same atomic number‚ but different mass numbers 131I - radioactive tracer for thyroid. 99Tc for tumours. Radioisotopes - gamma emitters & short half life - long enough to detect‚ but not long enough for damage. Beta particles emitters are more useful than alpha particle emitters because they penetrate more and so are more easily detected. Also‚ less damaging. The half life is the time taken for half the isotope to decay Mass left = initial

BIOREMEDIATION INTRODUCTION:- The process of bioremediation was reportedly devised by George M Robinson in the 1960 during experimentation with dirty jars and the introduction of microbes this was however not applied until the 1972 clean out of the fuel holding tanks on the RMS queen mary. Science 1972 bioremediation has become greater developed as a means of cleaning up spills of gasoline diesel ‚ heavy metals and other easily degraded petroleum products (National Research Council 1993).

carbonyl group and the grignard reagent. Once the Grignard reagent is synthesized it can work as a base by abstracting a proton or it can work as a good nucleophile. When it works as a base it can be added to water‚ alcohols‚ amines‚ acids‚ terminal alkynes and etc. When it works as a nucleophile‚ its nucleophilicity reacts with the electrophilic carbon in a carbonyl group forming a new carbon-carbon bond. Grignard reagents when synthesized are very reactive and thus must be made in an environment free

A Discussion of Banking-Concept Limitations What do students obtain through education? Freire in his essay ‘The Banking Concept of Education’ argues that students gain useless and meaningless knowledge through education‚ and I agree with Freire because education has become an act of depositing meaningless information into students. Freire believes the current educational system is flawed due to the “Banking Concept”‚ which Freire describes as‚ “an act of depositing‚ in which the students are the

The purpose of this experiment was to perform a wittig reaction‚ the horner-emmons wittig specifically‚ reacting an aldehyde with an ylide to make an alkene. This particular variation of the wittig reaction has several advantages: It gives only the trans product; it uses a much milder base that is easier to handle; and it gives a water soluble byproduct which is easy to separate from the product. The reason that these advantages occur is a change in the structure of the ylide. Instead of a tripheylphosphine

Chirality of Ethyl-3-hydroxybutanoate Generated from a Biological Pathway Jake Zimny LaSalle University Philadelphia‚ PA 19141 Submitted February 10‚ 2006 Abstract: The reaction being studied is a reduction of a ketone into an alcohol with a chiral center. Because a biological agent‚ bakers ’ yeast‚ is being used to drive this reaction‚ the optical purity that results in the product is so stereo-selective that the major product‚ (+)‚ is formed for 89% of the product.
