Nor Amirah Farhana Nawawi‚ Mia Organic Chemistry Lab Report 2 Jessica Sammons TITLE: Preparation of 2-butanone INTRODUCTION: The goal of this experiment was to prepare 2-butanone from 2-butanol. Chromic acid was used in this experiment to in order to prepare 2-butanol. Cr (VI) is rather orange‚ but Cr (III) is dark green - therefore by oxidizing the alcohol (2-butanol)‚ an orange Cr (IV) is reduced to green. NMR and IR tests were taken to determine the result‚ and the crystallized derivative of

Discuss the challenges that global warming presents to both governments and business Introduction (250 word approx.) This essay discusses the challenges that global warming presents to both the government and also how they affect businesses. Many people think global warming is just the weather becoming warmer‚ but in fact this is not the case. Global warming makes the weather more unpredictable as some places become colder‚ some hotter‚ some more drier‚ some more wetter and so on. Global warming

al Chain Reactions: Bromination of Arenes Introduction The purpose of the bromination of arenes was to determine the different reactivities of different hydrocarbons with different hydrogen atoms when reacted with bromine under free-radical substitution. The time it took for the bromine color to disappear was used to determine the order of reactivity of the different hydrocarbons. Data and Results The data of the 10 hydrocarbon tubes and the 2 control tubes with bromine and dichloromethane in

Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to prepare phenylmagnesium bromide‚ a Grignard reagent‚ and react it with benzophenone to give triphenylmethanol. Once made‚ the Grignard reagent will do a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon of the ketone‚ benzophenone. The result is an alkoxide that is then protonated to give the alcohol‚ triphenylmethanol. The purity of the final product will then be considered by melting point and IR spectroscopy. Final purified triphenylmethanol weighed 8.02 grams

oxidation state of a carbon atom can be used to find a change in the oxidation state. The rules used assign carbon a formal oxidation state based on +1 for any atom less electronegative than carbon‚ -1 for atoms more electronegative‚ and 0 for C-C bonds. The carbon must bear an oxidation number that makes this sum equal zero. Increasing the oxidation state or oxidation number of the carbon atom is called an oxidation reaction. This is done in two ways: 1) Increasing the number of carbon-O bonds (or any

technologies and scientific methods were used by historians and archaeologists tried to work out the life and death of Ötzi. Some of these major methods are: Examining the photos from the excavation site for the layout of Ötzi ’s surroundings. Carbon-14 dating to date when Ötzi had lived. A Mass Spectrometer (AMS) is used to discover Ötzi’s social background. X-ray‚ CAT scan and DNA analysis also used to determine the possible causes of his death. By examining the photos taken at the site‚

half-lives. One half-life is the amount of time required for ½ of the original atoms in a sample to decay (O’Neil).” Radiometric methods provide one of the most important ways to date fossils. The main types of radiometric dating are Potassium-argon‚ carbon-14 or radiocarbon‚ thermoluminescence‚ and electron-spin-resonance. Potassium-argon dating is used for dating volcanic rocks associated with fossil material. It can date better for older specimens but when used for younger specimens it can give a
