Prompt: Although the development of the Trans-Mississippi West is popularly associated with hardy individualism‚ it was in fact largely dependent on the federal government. Assess the validity of this statement with specific reference to western economic activities in the 19th century. In the late 1800s and early 1900s‚ the idea of the far west captivated many. The chance to begin life anew attracted thousands of individuals and families alike to move out west and escape their current life‚ which

Although some may say that since the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade from 1450-1800’s slavery has changed or ended‚ it really has stayed the same due to modern forms of slavery such as‚ bonded labor‚ sex trafficking‚ and child labor that still exist. The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade was developed by the existing system of slave trade in African Kingdoms. Demand and need for more slaves lead to active participation in obtaining slaves by African Kingdoms. European explorers found slavery as a popular custom

Marta Gebregziabher Discussion and Conclusion: Addition reaction of Alkenes: Bromination of (E)-Stilbene 1. Addition reaction is a reaction that involved two molecules that combine to make a larger product. Addition reaction has two main types‚ electrophilic addition and nucleophilic addition. An electrophilic reaction is when the pi bond of a molecule is removed to make two covalent bonds that are bonded to two new molecules. A nucleophillic addition is a reaction that removed the pi bond

The purpose of this lab will be to brominate trans-stilbene by using acetic acid and pyrimidium tribromide by refluxing the mixture. To test the purity of product I will take the melting point which should be around 240 ºC along with a flame test which should be green-blue. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES TABLE See Attached Lab Notebook Copies REACTION MECHANISM In this lab we used multiple techniques to complete and verify the bromination of trans-stilbene. First technique we used was to reflux the mixture;

1. Discuss the status of foreign claims and possessions in the trans-Mississippi West from 1811 to 1840. Trace the development of American interests in the region during this era. Between the years 1811 to 1840‚ Americans had migrated into the trans-Mississippi West in order to obtain defined boundaries with Canada and Mexico; moreover‚ they went westward to acquire the western edge of the continent. Commercial goals fueled early interest as traders firs sought beaver skins in Oregon territory

Lab 1: Alkene Addition: Bromination of (E)-stilbene I. Introduction: 1. The purpose of the experiment was to perform an electrophilic addition reaction by using pyridinium tribromide to brominate (E)-stilbene and to identify whether it formed the meso- or racemic product through melting point analysis. 2. This is the mechanism for the bromination of (E)-stilbene. However‚ this is the mechanism for Br2 and in class we us Pyridinium Tribromide instead due to the difficulties associated
