Task 3: The chemical tests used in order to carry out and collect these results are useful for the simple identification of colourless organic liquids and ones that are often found at the scenes of crime. The first test carried out was the Lucas test which was used to identify a variety of alcohols following the contribution of a given solution‚ from carrying this out I could then identify that primary and secondary alcohols were present with one tertiary alcohol also being present however despite

In our daily diets‚ carbohydrates‚ fats‚ proteins and water are the main components in our food. However‚ if the food is left untreated‚ oxidative deterioration of the flavor and odor of fats and fatty constituents in it will be resulted. Hence‚ antioxidant are used widely in the production of food which fats and oils are used as raw materials and in the marketing of foods containing fats under modern conditions. The major factor in quality degradation of fats and fatty portions of foods is oxidation

Bladder cancer‚ like most cancers does not develop as a result of a single pathogen or behavior. Rather‚ there is a complex interaction between genetics‚ environment‚ and lifestyle which can result in an increased risk for developing cancer of the bladder. The most common risk factor associated with bladder cancer is smoking. A Meta analytical study of several case studies in Europe found that cigarette smokers were about 3.3 times more likely to develop bladder cancer than nonsmokers. (Tide‚ 2015)

UNIVERSITY OF THE GAMBIA LECTURE NOTES COURSE: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY II (ORGANIC CHEMISTRY) CODE: CHM 161 2ND SEMESTER SESSION: 2012/2013 LECTURER: ANTHONY F. ADJIVON UNIT 1 INTRODUCTION Organic chemistry started as the chemistry of life‚ when that was thought to be different from the chemistry in the laboratory. Then it became the chemistry of carbon compounds‚ especially those found in coal. Now it is both. It is the chemistry of the compounds of carbon along with other elements

Experiment 1 Synthesis of Acetaminophen Clifford Tse 20529845 Partner – Raminder Dhanoa TA – Xiao Qi CHEM 123L - 012 February 6‚ 2014 Introduction Acetaminophen‚ also commonly known as Tylenol‚ is an over-the-counter medicine used to relieve pain and reduce fevers. Within this experiment‚ Acetaminophen will be formed through the reaction between p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride. This reaction will incur Acetaminophen as a crude solid being impure‚ which will be purified further through

/distance traveled by the solvent front Discussion By examining the functional groups of the analgesic drug components‚ the relative strength of their polarities can be determined. For example‚ if a compound contains carboxylic acid‚ alcohol or amine functional groups‚ it should be very polar. If a compound contains ketone‚ aldehyde‚ ester‚ amide‚ or ether functional groups‚ it should be polar. Lastly‚ if a compound

Peptide synthesis – chemistry and modifications Peptides and proteins exhibit the largest structural and functional variation of all classes of biologically active macromolecules. Biological functions as diverse as sexual maturation and reproduction‚ enzyme inhibition‚ blood pressure regulation‚ glucose metabolism‚ thermal control‚ analgesia and learning and memory are now thought to be regulated by peptides.

The nitrogen-based chemicals can be transformed into toxic chemical‚ n-Nitrosamines‚ under acidic environment or high temperature while cooking. Scanlan RA states that the most
