measure the amount of chemicals that are in a solution. It is a simple method to use and it is useful to use in different branches of chemistry. Many industries use the variety of forms of titrations so they can either develop or analyse key chemical compounds because it is resourceful. Titrations are used in companies in many areas of society. Acid Rain Environmental scientists analyse precipitation and how it responds to pollution. A titration is usually used to calculate the amount of natural rain

acid from methyl salicylate. To do an organic synthesis‚ it is needed to chemically modify the molecules of another compound to end up with the desire compound. Methyl salicylate is the major constituent of wintergreen oil‚ which is why it was used in this experiment as the starting material. The new technique used in this experiment is heating under reflux. Many organic compounds‚ when heated become volatile and it is easy to lost some. The idea of this technique is to add a vertical condenser to

Environmental Chemistry It often matters how much given atoms combine‚ in what arrangement‚ with what others‚ what impulse they receive‚ and what impart. The same ones make up earth‚ sky‚ sea‚ and streams; the same as the sun‚ the animals‚ grains and trees‚ but mingling and moving in every different ways. - Lucretius (95-52 B.C.) in The Nature of Things I.

New trends in drug discovery from natural sources emphasize on investigation of the marine ecosystem to explore numerous complex and novel chemical entities. Among the first bioactive compounds from marine sources‚ spongouridine and spongothymidine from the Caribbean sponge (Cryptotheca crypta)‚ were isolated serendipitously

Title: Grass Growth Effect Jessica Suarez Option A: Observation: During the winter‚ you spread salt daily on your driveway to melt the snow. In the springtime‚ when the lawn begins to grow‚ you notice that there is no grass growing for about 3 inches from the driveway. Furthermore‚ the grass seems to be growing more slowly up to about 1 foot from the driveway. Question: Might grass growth be inhibited by salt? My hypothesis is that the grass growth in being inhibited by salt. A typical

alternatives.1 The role of engineering economics is to assess the appropriateness of a given project‚ estimate its value‚ and justify it from an engineering standpoint. This chapter discusses the time value of money and other cash-flow concepts‚ such as compound and continuous interest. It continues with economic practices and techniques used to evaluate and optimize decisions on selection of fire safety strategies. The final section expands on the principles of benefit-cost analysis. An in-depth treatment

Activated Carbon Activated Carbon is the best general use adsorbent to remove/reduce a lot of organic and some inorganic contaminants found in different liquid and gas products. Activated carbon has the unique ability to adsorb a wide range of compounds from both the liquid and gas phase. This adsorptive feature is responsible for removing contaminants from water and other substances where the adsorbent material is added. Activated Carbon features a highly crystalline form with a wide surface area

IELTS Vocabulary: How something works A. Look at these sentences and decide which object is being described in each one. Use the words in bold to help you. You will find the objects hidden in the word grid at the bottom of the page. 1. The most important part of this object is a strip of two different metals‚ one on top of the other. As they heat up‚ both metals expand‚ but one does it faster than the other. The strip bends and connects with a switch‚ which turns off the power supply. When the strip cools

Synthesis of 3-Acetylcoumarin Introduction In thi lab we were asked to make coumarin. Coumarin is a fragrent organic chemical compound. It is a natural substance found in many plants. The name comes from the french term for tonka bean. The substance was first isolated as a natural product in 1820. Coumarin has been showed to be useful in biological activity‚ but they have been approved for few pharmacutical uses. It has been reported that coumarin activity includes HIV‚ tumors
