In the book Life of Pi a young religious boy named Pi is traveling with his family‚ and many animals from their zoo‚ from India to Canada. Along the course of the trip‚ their ship sinks‚ his entire family dies‚ and Pi is left on a lifeboat with a few of the zoo animals‚ including a Bengal Tiger named Richard Parker. Once Pi is finally rescued‚ he is interrogated to try to discover the cause of the sinking of the ship‚ but in the interrogation he tells his story of being stuck on a lifeboat with a

Title: Preparation of Cyclohexene from Cyclohexanol Aim: To prepare an alkene‚ cyclohexene‚ by the dehydration of an alcohol‚ cyclohexanol‚ and better understand the processes that take place during this reaction. Introduction: One of the common ways of preparing an alkene is through the dehydration of an alcohol. In this experiment cyclohexanol is dehydrated to prepare cyclohexene while using sulfuric acid as a catalyst. A bromine test can be later done to ensure that the end product is

condensation reaction using an unknown aldehyde and an unknown ketone. H NMR is used to identify the unknown aldehyde and ketone. Melting point is used to identify the aldol condensation reaction. Theory: Condensation reaction is also known as a dehydration reaction. In the mechanism of condensation reaction‚ a bond is formed between two molecules and creates water as a byproduct. Aldol condensation is a C-C bond forming reaction between the alpha Carbon of the aldehyde or ketone and carbonyl carbon

Throughout the semester I have been introduced to a plethora elements‚ molecules‚ and bodily functions. As I began to assess an appropriate topic for this paper‚ water seemed to spark the most interest. While cell membranes‚ heredity‚ gene expression‚ evolution‚ cellular metabolism‚ and chemical reactions are all appealing‚ water is undeniably more relevant. I decided to dissect the article entitled‚ “Water: The Science of Nature’s Most Important Nutrient” In this article Len Kravitz Ph.D. discusses

alcohol. Claisen-Schmidt condensation is a crossed aldol condensation that involves an aromatic aldehydes dehydration to yield double bond conjugated aromatic ring and the carbonyl group. Aldol products can dehydrate under either acidic or basic conditions to give‚ α‚ β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones. Although there is even balance in the equilibrium in aldo condensation‚ the dehydration is usually exothermic. (Wade‚ 1998) In crossed aldol condensation careful selection of compound is important

campylobacteriosis is mainly caused as a result of Campylobacter Jejuni. Campylobacteriosis‚ a bacterial form of gastroenteritis can cause bloody diarrhea‚ which can be very dangerous since the body is losing blood. It can also cause vomiting‚ dehydration and severe abdominal pain. Usually any form of gastroenteritis will last for a couple of days‚ however for campylobacteriosis it can last for more than a week. All these symptoms can be felt for a week or a week and a half. Campylobacter Jejuni
