defined‚ by a chemist named Lavoisier. As the world began exploring during the 18th century‚ large deposits of gypsum were found near Paris‚ France. The French began to use gypsum as building materials as well as decorative material by dehydrating gypsum. Dehydrating gypsum helped to chemically alter water filled‚ naturally occurring gypsum. Across the years as gypsum was studied more‚ and more ways were found in using such a mineral. Gypsum was used as a soil additive to help improve crop yield‚ when

peak at about 3300 in the IR corresponds to the O—H group in the product. The peaks to the right of aro0und 3000 are C—H related‚ those about 1599 are C—H bends‚ and the peaks at 1000-1350 are C—O related. The most plausible product seems to be cyclohexanol with a molecular formula of C6H12O. 2. Describe the stereochemical relationship between each pair of isomers. (a) Same

Identification of a Hydrate Based on Percent Water Varun Wadhwa 11/19/12 Introduction The identity of an unknown hydrate was determined by massing the hydrate before and after heating and calculating the percentage of water. Procedure First‚ we cleaned‚ dried and heated an evaporating dish for five minutes on an iron ring with the Bunsen burner and massed it. Then‚ we added 2 grams of an unknown hydrate and calculated the mass of that. Next‚ we used gradually increasing heat for

all of the following parts a) You should state what experiment was performed‚ and show any necessary reaction schemes. The reaction schemes should include molecular weights and any other important physical data for the reagents and products. Ex. Cyclohexanol was oxidized to cyclohexanone using sodium dichromate in the presence of sulfuric acid. * Note: you can download a free version of a structure editor from ACD labs‚ the PC version is called chemsketch‚ the Mac version is called marvinsketch

Practical 1 Title: Tissue Processing Aim: To examine human cell and tissue under the microscope Introduction: Tissues from the body taken for analysis of diseases must be processed in the histology laboratory to produce microscopic slides that are viewed under the microscope. These tissues are usually fixed into paraffin. Microscopic analysis of cells and tissues requires the preparation of very thin‚ high quality sections mounted on glass slides and properly stained to demonstrate normal and abnormal

Katie Smith April 11‚ 2013 Competitive Nucleophiles Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to compare the nucleophilicities of chloride and bromide ions toward the n-butyl and t-pentyl alcohols. We were able to analyze this by using refractometry to measure the amounts of alkyl chloride and alkyl bromide in each reaction. Experiment Scheme (Procedure A) To begin the experiment‚ we assembled a reflux apparatus in the fume hood with a 100 mL round bottom flask and a condenser

the literature value of the melting point of alum. The average experimental value of the melting point of aluminum potassium sulfate (alum) is 91.2 oC‚ approximately 1.8% error. In procedure #2‚ the ratio between alum and water is determined by dehydrating the water molecules from the AlK(SO4)2.12H2O. The experimental value of the ratio between alum and water is approx 10.4:12‚ so 10:12‚ approximately 13.3%
