Stereochemistry of Butenedioic Acid Objective: To study the interconversion of two geometric isomers‚ maleic acid (cis isomer) to fumaric acid (trans isomers)‚ the differences in physical properties between this pair of cis-trans isomers and determine the stereochemistry of addition of bromine to butenedioic acid. Chemicals and Apparatus: 2 grams of maleic acid‚ 10 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid‚ 10 cm3 of bromine water[1]‚ one 50 cm3 beaker‚ one 100 cm3 beaker‚ one 250 cm3

This experiment involves the separation of benzoic acid from a more crude form‚ consisting of benzoic acid‚ methyl orange‚ a common acid/base indicator‚ and cellulose‚ a natural polymer of glucose (Huston‚ and Liu 17-24). The technique that is used to perform this separation is called extraction. Extraction is a systematic process of separating

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are fats that are required by the human body‚ but cannot be made by the body; therefore they must be obtained from external forces such as food. EFAs are the building blocks of all fats and oils and are required for both metabolic processes and for fuel. EFAs form the main component in the fats carried in our blood stream (triglycerides)‚ fats stored in our bodies and of cell membranes (phospholipids). (Erasmus‚ 1993)‚ (Wikipedia‚ Essential Fatty Acids‚ 2012) Two fundamental

What is it? Folic acid is a water soluble B vitamin. It is used during pregnancy to prevent Neural Tube Defects (NTD’s). NTD’s are birth defects of the brain‚ spine or spinal cord (MedlinePlus). They can be fatal depending on how bad the injury is especially if it is to the brain. Folic acid works with vitamin B12 in the formation of red blood cells. Deficiency in both folic acid and vitamin B12 causes a certain type of anemia known as macrocytic anemia. Macrocytic anemia is a type of anemia that

Self-Determination Theory – How Do You Feel? PSYC3520 - Intro to Social Psychology Social Psychological Theory April‚ 2014 What is the Self-Determination Theory? “Self-determination theory (SDT) is a macro theory of human motivation and personality‚ concerning people ’s inherent growth tendencies and their innate psychological needs.” (Deci & Ryan‚ n.d.) In short‚ it is our motivation in the choices we make that exclude outside influences. This theory of motivation

The Effects of Acid Rain on Plant Growth PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment was to determine to what degree acid rain affects the growth of certain plants. I became interested in this idea because I’m worried about our environmental conditions and it sounded very interesting to me. The information gained from this experiment may be used to as a warning to stop air pollution. HYPOTHESIS My hypothesis is that the plant watered with the acid solution will grow more slowly than plant’s

Experiment # 3 Acetylsalicylic Acid Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to create and isolate pure acetylsalicylic acid from the substances salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Then one will find the melting point to determine purity. Procedure: Make a hot bath. Weigh some salicylic acid and place in conical vial. Add .480mL of acetic anhydride and a drop of concentrated phosphoric acid. Drop in a magnetic spin vane and attach air condenser to vial. Partially submerge it in

ACID / BASE BUFFER SYSTEMS Abstract A buffer solution is a solution that contains both an acid and a salt containing the conjugate base / acid in sufficient concentrations so as to maintain a relatively constant pH when either acid or base is added. In this experiment a selection of buffer solutions (Bicarbonate/carbonic acid)‚ Lake water and distilled water were obtained to compare their buffering behaviours when mixed both with an acid and a base. The results showed buffering capacities for
