Introduction Reactions don’t always produce the same product‚ even if the reactants are kept constant. Some reactions have the capacity to produce two or more different products‚ depending on the reaction conditions and control such as thermodynamic and kinetic control. Thermodynamic control produces more stable products (University of Windsor‚ 2015). A kinetic control forms products at a faster rate faster rate because of its lower activation energy (UC Davis ChemWiki‚ 2015). By manipulating these

anthracene from benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride and 9-anthraldehyde through the reaction mechanism recognized as the Wittig Reaction. The Wittig Reaction allows the chemist to synthesize phosphoranes in the lab with relative ease. A more recent and inexpensive version of the reaction is the Wittig-Horner reaction (1). ABSTRACT Georg Wittig was a German chemist and Nobel Prize winner in 1979 for the Wittig reaction (1). He was born in Berlin‚ on June 16‚ 1897‚ and died August 26‚ 1987 (1). Wittig

All chemical reactions are processed through energy exchanges. Chemical reactions either absorb energy or release energy into their surroundings. In thermodynamics‚ endothermic reactions absorb energy where exothermic reactions release energy. In this experiment‚ we will be observing the chemical reactions that occur when a specific liquid is combined with a specific solid. We will measure the temperature of the liquid before the solid is added. Then we will measure the temperature of the liquid
Premium Chemical reaction Temperature Chemistry
The effect of temperature on the reaction rate: As the temperature increases it provides more kinetic energy to the molecules allowing them to move faster and with more energy the molecules can overcome the activation energy barrier and therefore the reaction occurs faster. 5. Since the proposed mechanism is a SN1 reaction the reaction got faster as the polarity increased. This is because SN1 reactions work best with polar protic solvents as they stabilize the carbocation. Therefore‚ as seen

How fast is your reaction? Part 1 – How temperature affect the rate of reaction Chemical equation Magnesium + hydrochloric acid → magnesium chloride + hydrogen Mg + 2HCL → MgCl2 + H2 Graph Conclusion and questions 1. What factors/variables did you keep the same in this experiment? * We kept the same volume of hydrochloric acid (10 cm3) and the magnesium ribbon (5cm) because that way we could get a fair test experiment. We also repeated

Aim: The rate at which a reaction occurs‚ or takes place‚ is affected by various factors‚ such as the temperature at which the experiment is conducted in‚ the pressure which is given‚ the surface area which is exposed‚ use of catalysts‚ and the concentration. In this investigation‚ I would be investigating the affect of surface area‚ or particle size‚ in the rate at which a reaction occurs. Background Information: The more finely divided the solid is‚ the faster the reaction happens. A powdered solid

Diels-Alder reaction was performed in this experiment. Which is a reaction that was discovered by Otto Diels and Kurt Alder. This particular type of reaction is the concerted cycloaddition among a dienophile and a diene. The Diels-Alder reaction allows for the synthesis of stereospecific rings in an efficient manner. This reaction proceed in a single step method‚ otherwise known as Nucleophilic Substitution in the second order (SN2). The Diels-Alder reaction is categorized as a pericyclic reaction‚ this

INTRODUCTION – OBJECTIVES In this first experiment‚ we will perform 8 chemical reactions and 1 flame test in order to determine 2 things : a) firstly‚ we can know whether a reaction occurred or not. To complete our mission‚ we need to observe carefully some signs of chemical reaction’s appearance such as the change in color of solution

Factors Affecting Reactions I. Factors Affecting Reactions [545] • Every chemical proceeds at its own rate. • By changing the conditions of the reaction‚ the rate of almost any reaction can be modified. • The rate of a chemical reaction depends upon: o Temperature o Concentration o Particle Size[SA] o Catalyst A. Temperature [545] • Increasing the temperature causes molecules to move faster‚ so there’s an increased chance of them colliding

1: INTRODUCTION When studying the function of catalysts in reactions during the kinetics unit‚ I was eager to know more about the position of enzymes‚ which function as biological catalysts in biological systems. After doing some further research‚ I found that catalase‚ an enzyme‚ which is found in nearly all living organisms such as animals‚ catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the blood. H2O2 is produced by reactions in the white blood cells in our body to fight against diseases
