The thermal decomposition of nitrates – ‘writing with fire’ 31 A message is written on filter paper with a solution of sodium nitrate and is then dried‚ rendering it invisible. Applying a glowing splint to the start of the message makes the treated paper smoulder and the message is revealed as the glow spreads its way through the treated paper. Lesson organisation The demonstration takes about 10 -15 minutes. It could be a student activity‚ but with a large class it will need a well

Percent Copper in Brass Background The scientific concepts involved in this lab include Spectroscopy‚ Beer’s law‚ Calibration curve‚ concentration‚ and electronic transitions. The main objective of this experiment is to see how the percent composition of brass can be determined to verify the properties influenced by copper and zinc. Brass is a generic term for alloys of copper and zinc. The main technique used in this experiment is Spectroscopy. The three equations used in this lab are: Y = mx

The Chemistry of Latent Fingerprints KEY Chemical Reaction Silver nitrate (AgNO3) can react with the salt (NaCl) left from the perspiration on the friction ridge skin to form solid silver chloride (AgCl) and sodium nitrate. The silver chloride can then be converted to silver oxide (Ag2O)‚ which is dark in color and can be more easily seen. Challenge Suppose the fingerprint processing technique that uses silver nitrate to react with the salt from perspiration produced 5.8 x 10-2 grams of silver

Synthesis of 4‐methylcyclohexene via Dehydration of 4‐methylcyclohexanol Heston Allred TA: Christine Woolley Thursday 1:05-4 pm Laboratory Experiment #10 Abstract 4-methylcyclohexanol was synthesized to 4-methylcyclohexene using dehydration. 4-methylcyclohexanol was heated to reflux and the subsequent distillate (4-methylcyclohexe) was collected. It was then purified using sodium chloride to separate products and an anhydrous solid was then added and filtered

Sarah Muhs ID: 11325862 Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Post Lab: 1. Is the ester group of your starting material electron donating or withdrawing? Support your conclusion with resonance drawings. The ester group‚ CO2CH3‚ of the starting material was electron withdrawing. 2. Draw the mechanism of the nitronium ion reaction with the methylbenzoate. 3. Why does water stop the reaction? Water stops the reaction because of Le Châtlier’s principle. Since water is a product‚ when more is added it drives

1. There were several conceptual blocks experienced by the smokejumpers. The first conceptual block occurred when Dodge saw that the fire had crossed the gulch ahead of the crew and he redirected them to start ascending up the hill. The smokejumpers could not understand why Dodge would instruct them to go this route when it seemed much safer and more feasible to keep trekking toward the river. This is an example of compression. The smokejumpers were not seeking to find much needed information or

Conclusion: ¬¬The goal of the first part of this experiment was to achieve a 50-50 conversion of fluorene to Fluorenone. In order to achieve the goal of the experiment fluorene was oxidized to Fluorenone. The hydroxide ions from the sodium hydroxide in the presence of Stark’s catalyst would be able to de-protonate the acidic fluorene protons. This would result in the formation of a carbanion which attacks the oxygen from the air resulting in the formation of a hydroperoxide and eventually a ketone
