all spectators present so detectives can figure out what really happened at the scene. After the scene is calmed down‚ specialist forensic scientists show up and start their examination of the crime (“Introduction”). The important part of the investigation is “[e]stablishing the exact sequence of events immediately before and after the crime was committed...” (Woodford). This helps the investigators better understand how exactly the crime happened. The scene is documented with photography‚ all angles

Kinetics of an SN1 reaction: the effect of solvent on rate Object The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate of hydrolysis in acetone/water (50/50 v/v and 60/40 v/v). Background and Theory An SN1 reaction of tert-butyl chloride takes place in two steps. First‚ the Alkyl Halide will leave the molecule. In this step the bond is breaking‚ which takes a longer amount of time‚ so it will determine the rate of the reaction. As a result‚ it forms a tertiary carbocation‚ since this
Premium Solvent Reaction rate Chemical reaction
Abstract We performed two trials of nine different variables of reactions to determine what increases/decreases reaction rates. The variables we used are hot/cold and room temperature water‚ a equal mixture of HCL and water‚ A equal mixture of NaOH and water‚ either a whole‚ broken‚ or finely crushed Alka-seltzer tablet. The fastest rate average was at 0.04 s (finely crushed Alka-seltzer with room temp. water). The slowest rate average is 8.02 s (Alka-seltzer with cold water). Introduction

AS91601 Final Report Carry out a practical investigation in a biology context‚ with guidance. Name : Olivia Nilson Introduction Slaters (woodlice or porcellio scaber) are often found in gardens. They usually like to hide in cool moist dirt or in cold places such as under pots or bricks Aim : To investigate how temperature affects the speed of slaters Hypothesis : I predict that the slaters will move faster when the temperature is increased‚ above their preferred temperature range‚ as they try

Elimination Reactions ________________________________________ As described previously‚ primary alkyl halides generally undergo substitution reactions with simple nucleophiles by an SN2 mechanism. Secondary alkyl halides‚ often react with simple basic nucleophiles to give a mixture of products arising from both substitution and elimination. As with substitution reactions‚ the rate at which elimination reactions proceed can be proportional to both the concentration of the base and the concentration

Properties and Reactions of Hydrocarbons Abstract Introduction Hydrocarbons are organic materials that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms‚ these molecules can be saturated or unsaturated and acyclic‚ cyclic‚ or aromatic. In this experiment we used a variety of methods to examine the physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons. The first experiment we tested a variety of solvents to see if they dissolved our alkane (Decalin). One would expect that non-polar solvents will dissolve
