SYNTHESIS AND CHEMISTRY OF K2S2O8 ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ a sample of K2S2O8 was prepared by the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of H2SO4 and K2SO4. The peroxodisulfate anion‚ S2O82-‚ was also observed for its ability to serve as a counterion for precipitation by preparing a copper (II) complex by reacting hydrated copper (II) sulfate with ammonium peroxodisulfate in the presence of pyridine. This same ability‚ coupled with its strong oxidizing ability allowed for stabilization of

Year of Magical Thinking: Syntax and Synthesis Syntax: Joan Didion uses many syntax devices to emphasize the important emotions or tones she is trying to create. One device that she uses throughout the book is parenthetical aside. On page 5 and several other places she writes “And then—gone” (Didion 5). One of the struggles Didion faces is the fact that her husband is actually gone and how it was so unexpected. The parenthesis aside created the dramatic effect showing how everything was as expected

Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to synthesize triphenylmethanol from benzophenone and bromobenzene by the formation of a Grignard compound with the reagents bromobenzene and magnesium metal. The bromobenzene was first transformed into the Grignard compound and was then reacted with the benzophenone to make the final product. The mixture was then mixed with sulfuric acid and the organic layer was extracted via a separatory funnel. The mixture was then recrystallized from methanol and was allowed

to conduct the synthesis of aspirin‚ acquire the skills of recrystallisation using normal filtration and reinforce the technique of the melting point determination. The method used to synthesize aspirin was esterification by reacting salicylic acid with acetic anhydride with the presence of dehydrating agent‚ conc. sulphuric acid‚ to speed up the reaction. Having obtained the crude aspirin which was still impure‚ recrystallisation was conducted to remove the impurities. The aspirin harvested at the

Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

But for this paper‚ a review of Freud’s concepts of dreams‚ an analysis of the Activation Synthesis Theory of dreams‚ and an inquiry into the Activation-Information-Mode (AIM) Model of dreams will define dream theories. Dreaming is an important aspect of a person’s psychological well-being‚ and Sigmund Freud began the real inquiry

Analysis of Alum‚ AlK(SO4)2・12 H2O Partner: Cindy Date: Sep 15‚ 2011 Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to verify the identity of the alum by finding the properties of the substance; melting point and mole ratio of the water to the anhydrous. Every substance has unique characteristics which help to determine the identity of it. The actual values of the properties can be compared to the experimental values. In real life‚ this can be used to determine the unknown medicines. Hypothesis:
