Predicting Your Competitor’s Reaction In order for a company to gain competitive advantage in the consumer/business markets it needs to not only carefully prepare its “plan of action”‚ but also analyze‚ study and predict its competitors reaction to its strategic move. However‚ many companies undermine the importance of such analysis due to its complication in nature. But study shows‚ unlike in chess‚ where you have to predict up to hundreds of combinations that follow each possible move‚ most

goal was to observe and note the reaction of butanols with hydrobromic acid. Before the lab began we discussed and proposed mechanisms. (see “Mechanisms”) To begin this experiment we calculated how much of each material we were going to be using‚ and the numbers we chose to use differed from our reference text slightly. We used 6.5 mL of our assigned butanol and only 4 mL of sulfuric acid. Going back to our reaction mechanisms‚ we were looking at SN1 and SN2 reactions‚ so we of course used the hydrobromic

1: INTRODUCTION When studying the function of catalysts in reactions during the kinetics unit‚ I was eager to know more about the position of enzymes‚ which function as biological catalysts in biological systems. After doing some further research‚ I found that catalase‚ an enzyme‚ which is found in nearly all living organisms such as animals‚ catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the blood. H2O2 is produced by reactions in the white blood cells in our body to fight against diseases

Experiment 1: Observations of Chemical Changes Lab Partners: None Date of Experiment: February 25‚ 2015 Location: My House Abstract: The experiment intended to provide observations of chemical changes as the primary objective. The experiment was divided into two parts‚ first‚ mixing two aqueous solutions of ionic compounds. The second part involved the observance of heating and combustion reactions‚ using the supplied solid elements and compounds. Experiment and Observations: The first part of

Introduction Reactions don’t always produce the same product‚ even if the reactants are kept constant. Some reactions have the capacity to produce two or more different products‚ depending on the reaction conditions and control such as thermodynamic and kinetic control. Thermodynamic control produces more stable products (University of Windsor‚ 2015). A kinetic control forms products at a faster rate faster rate because of its lower activation energy (UC Davis ChemWiki‚ 2015). By manipulating these

Single Displacement Reaction The objective of this experiment was to observe evidence of a reaction and to determine the chemical equation‚ if there is a reaction. In order for a reaction to occur‚ a metal strip must have evidence of black or grey deposits on the surface of the metal once dipped into the solution. The reactivity of an element is related to its tendency to lose or gain electrons. Three metal strips that were used are copper‚ lead and zinc as well as the solutions of silver nitrate

Diels-Alder reaction was performed in this experiment. Which is a reaction that was discovered by Otto Diels and Kurt Alder. This particular type of reaction is the concerted cycloaddition among a dienophile and a diene. The Diels-Alder reaction allows for the synthesis of stereospecific rings in an efficient manner. This reaction proceed in a single step method‚ otherwise known as Nucleophilic Substitution in the second order (SN2). The Diels-Alder reaction is categorized as a pericyclic reaction‚ this

INTRODUCTION For this experiment we studied an oxidation-reduction reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid solution. We compared the experimental measured amount of a product and the amount predicted by the theoretical calculation of a balanced equation: Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) PROCEDURE First we obtained a strip of pre-cut magnesium ribbon‚ cleaned it with steel wool to remove any signs of oxidation from the strip (which would alter our results)‚ and then weighed it (individual

How much is it? How does reaction time change with practice? THEORETICAL The reaction time is the amount of time required to sense astimulus‚ analyze its meaning‚ and respond. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is speed with direction
