Fracking for Natural Gas In today’s global fight for the growing demand of energy and promotion of saving energy‚ fracking has become very controversial. The dangers to our society and health are at the forefront in conducting safer practices. To obtain the natural gas‚ fracking or hydraulic fracking must be conducted. Hoffman (2015) explained‚ “Hydrofracking is a controversial oil and gas extraction technique developed in the late 1940s to gain access to fossil energy deposits previously inaccessible

Lab 2 Report- Identification of Substances by Physical Properties The purpose of this lab was to see how certain substances; Naphthalene‚ Toulene‚ and and 2 unknowns (one liquid‚ one solid) react with 3 different solvents. To identify the two unknowns‚ testing needs to be done to find the density of both the liquid and the solid‚ determine the melting point of the solid‚ and the boiling point of the liquid. The Physical Properties of Pure Substances Table can then be used to compare the observed

report concluded that most employees were happy with their pay and working conditions. The issue of exposing workers to harmful chemicals has also arisen. Observers readily have brought attention to a characteristic smell inside shoe factories. Toluene‚ a solvent in primers and glues which has been used to bond shoe components‚ has been identified as one of the culprits. It has also been found to be a cause of brain damage‚ cancer‚ head aches‚ impaired coordination‚ and lassitude. 2) Which criticisms

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

Chem 3418 Organic Chemistry Laboratory I Acid Base Review Definition In general‚ an acid is a substance that can donate a proton (H+) and a base is a substance that can accept a proton. Any proton in an organic molecule can potentially be donated. The most acidic proton in a molecule would be donated first. Any lone pair in an organic molecule can act as the proton acceptor. An acid (HA) reacts with a base (in this case H2O) to form the conjugate base of the acid (A-) and the conjugate acid of the
