Great Lakes is currently the largest U.S. methyl bromide supplier in the U.S. producing more than 40 million pounds annually at their plants. Great Lakes Chemical ’s involvement in the bromine business has its roots in leaded gasoline. When tetraethyl lead (TEL) was invented as a gasoline additive back in the 1920s‚ it was found to leave a corrosive byproduct in the engine. Great Lakes developed international markets for its products. Globalization of leaded gasoline makes TEL responsible for nearly

Writing Complete Equations Practice For each of the following problems‚ write complete chemical equations to describe the chemical process taking place. Important note: There are a few physical processes on this sheet – You can’t write an equation for a physical process! 1) When lithium hydroxide pellets are added to a solution of sulfuric acid (dihydrogen sulfate)‚ lithium sulfate and water are formed. 2) When dirty water is boiled for purification purposes‚ the temperature is brought up to

<b>The Greenhouse Effect</b> <br>The earth’s climate is predicted to change because human activities are altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere through the build up of greenhouse gases primarily carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ and nitrous oxide. <br> <br>Energy from the sun drives the earth’s weather and climate‚ and heats the earth’s surface. This causes the earth to radiate the energy back into space. Atmospheric greenhouse gases (water vapour‚ carbon dioxide‚ and other gases) trap some

the alkanes to any extent - at least‚ under normal lab conditions. The reactions between alkanes and chlorine or bromine There is no reaction in the dark. In the presence of a flame‚ the reactions are rather like the fluorine one - producing a mixture of carbon and the hydrogen halide. The violence of the reaction drops considerably as you go from fluorine to chlorine to bromine. The interesting reactions happen in the presence of ultra-violet light (sunlight will do). These are photochemical

Stoichiometry Practice Problems Be sure to balance all equations before you start calculating! Answer key is at the end. 1) Lithium hydroxide reacts with hydrobromic acid to produce lithium bromide and water. If you start with ten grams of lithium hydroxide‚ how many grams of lithium bromide will be produced? 2) Ethylene (C2H4 ) reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. If you start with 45 grams of ethylene‚ how many grams of carbon dioxide will be produced?

of plankton populations in the ocean’sphotic zone may result from the increased UV exposure due to ozone depletion. Causes Scientific evidence indicates that stratospheric ozone is being destroyed by a group of manufactured chemicals‚ containing chlorine and/or bromine. These chemicals are called "ozone-depleting substances" (ODS). ODS are very stable‚

This paper is an analysis conducted on Nucleic Acids through a variety of tests specifically‚ Dische‚ Murexide‚ Wheeler-Johnson and Phosphate Tests in order to exemplify structural features of nucleic acids as well as identify the principle involved in each chemical test. Different procedures and different test compounds were applied‚ and results were noted as for changes in colors of precipitates or solutions. For Dische Test‚ light blue was obtained for RNA and dark violet for DNA. For Murexide

determining step is the first step of the reaction. This experiment deals with activating substituents that increase the rate of reaction. In the first rate determining step‚ the electron density rich pi bonds of benzene react with the electrophile (Bromine) to form a resonance stabilized carbocation. This step is the most important factor that decides which substituents make benzene react faster. This is because the rate of the reaction can be determined through the stability of the carbocation transition
