Abscisic Acid and Stomatal Closure Abscisic acid is a single compound unlike the auxins‚ gibberellins‚ and cytokinins. It was called "abscisin II" originally because it was thought to play a major role in abscission of fruits. Though ABA generally is thought to play mostly inhibitory roles‚ it has many promoting functions as well. In 1963‚ abscisic acid was first identified and characterized by Frederick Addicott and his associates. They were studying compounds responsible for the abscission

Abstract Oxidation was found for primary alcohol. When 6 drops of potassium dichromate and 1 drop of concentrated sulfuric acid were added to 1-pentanol‚ the color of 1-pentaol turned into dark green. In second experiment‚ precipitation was found when 6 drops of 2‚4-dinitrophenylhydrazine were added to both 5 drops of benzaldehyde and 5 drops of acetophenone. Based on these data‚ it is possible to find alcohol by oxidation and aldehyde by observing precipitation Introduction This experiments

MODULE 2: GENETICS‚ VARIATION AND NATURAL SELECTION SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES & EXPLANATORY NOTES 1. Structure and Roles of Nucleic Acids 1.1 illustrate the structure of RNA and DNA using simple labelled diagrams; The genetic substance found in all organisms called DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a kind of nucleic acid. Nucleic acids consist of two long polymers of simpler units‚ called nucleotides; that are composed of three (3) main units as shown below: 1) A pentose sugar (deoxyribose

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

Safety Precautions for Synthesis of Acetic Anhydride Acetic Anhydride Acetic anhydride is an irritant and also flammable‚ therefore gloves and goggles should be worn at all times during the experiment. It is reactive to water‚ so in the case of fire‚ alcohol foam or carbon dioxide is preferred to use as an extinguisher. This chemical has harmful fumes and use of a fume hood is strongly recommended. Sulphuric and Salicylic Acid These acids may irritate the skin in high concentrations. Take

Synthesis of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) Abstract: This experiment is about the synthesis of aspirin under laboratory conditions. Aspirin is prepared by reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride; in the presence of sulfuric acid. After fully dissolving the salicylic acid with acetic anhydride‚ the solution is cooled and cold water is then added. Once the crystals form they are then filtered and left to dry out. There mass is measured and recorded then the yield is calculated. Introduction:

Multistep Synthesis of Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone In this laboratory experiment a synthesis was performed through several separate steps. The purpose of the experiment was to synthesize tetraphenylcyclopentadienone from benzaldehyde and to run reactions on carbonyl containing compounds. There was a total of three steps that led up to the synthesis of the final product‚ tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The first step of the experiment was the condensation of benzaldehyde to yield

And when an acid was added chromate turned orange while dichromate remained orange. The acid solution used was H2SO4 because it is highly acidic. 2CrO4-2(aq) + 2H3O+(aq) ⇄ 3H2O(L) + Cr2O7-2(aq) is the balance chemical equation of the system. When the acid solution is added the equilibrium shifts to the left making the solution orange and when basic solution is added to the solution

EXTRACTION OF BENZOIC ACID‚ 2-NAPHTHOL‚ AND NAPHTHALENE FROM UNKNOWN SAMPLE # 131 Douglas G. Balmer (T.A. Mike Hall) Dr. Dailey Submitted 11 July 2007 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a sample of benzoic acid‚ 2- naphthol‚ and naphthalene of unknown proportions using a two-base extraction method. The three components of the mixture will react differently to sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide because each of the bases’ conjugate acids has a different pKa. The
