Abstract: Finding the half-life of Aluminum-28 is the purpose of this lab. The class met at the Radiation Center and exposed small amounts of aluminum to energetic neutrons and watched the samples decay. After creating a table with background count and gross counts of the aluminum remaining at fifteen different one-minute intervals‚ this allowed the net counts per minute at each interval to be found as well. Next a graph of the net cpm verses time was plotted. After each interval was plotted

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. Introduction: This

Sodium borohydride Reduction of Benzil Introduction: The Purpose of this experiment is for the students to learn how to use sodium borohydride to reduce benzil to its secondary alcohol product via reduction reaction. This two-step reaction reduces aldehydes by hydrides to primary alcohols‚ and ketones to secondary alcohols. In order for the reaction to occur and to better control the stereochemistry and yield of the product‚ the metal hydride nucleophile of the reducing agents such as LiH‚ LiAlH4

It can reduce a variety of functional groups such as aldehydes‚ esters‚ acids‚ ketones‚ nitriles‚ epoxides and azides. It vigorously reacts with water and all the reactions are performed in polar aprotic solvents. 2.1.1.2 Preparation It was first

Discussion: In this experiment a ketone‚ 9-fluorenone is reduced to and alcohol. The are two possible ways by which this reduction can occur. One is by a catalytic hydrogenation‚ this uses a catalyst such as palladium or nickel‚ hydrogen gas‚ and heat/pressure. This can reduced an alkane to alkene. This catalytic process is preferred in industrial practices because the cost is low in the long run and more importantly there is little to no waste expense. However‚ hydrogen gas is dangerous due to

i. Flammable Materials Flammable and Combustible Liquids (Examples: alcohols‚ esters‚ ethers‚ ketones) Vapors from flammable and combustible liquids can mix with air and burn if they contact an ignition source. Possible ignition sources include hot electrical wires‚ hot surfaces‚ open flames‚ hot particles and embers‚ and sparks. The lowest temperature at which a liquid releases enough vapor to start burning is called the flash point. The flash point is what distinguishes a flammable liquid
