Analysis of Ethanol in Moonshine | Using the GC-MS | Jennifer Greene | ------------------------------------------------- 4 May 2012 ------------------------------------------------- 4 May 2012 Introduction: In this experiment gas chromatography is applied to separate the water-ethanol mixture. This method is often used in the determination of alcohol in blood or urine. One obvious application is when law enforcement agencies need to determine whether or not someone is inebriated

How is the increasing rate of unemployment affecting the youth of South Africa? 1. Introduction A major problem in South Africa is the large number of young persons who are unemployed. In South Africa 50% of the South Africans who don’t have jobs‚ are youngsters. Today‚ a matriculation qualification is not enough to get a job in this country‚ even having a degree does not necessarily guarantee employment. South Africa has an acute problem of youth unemployment that requires a multi-pronged

experiments will be conducted to evaluate ethanol as a fuel‚ the experiments are Fermentation and Calorimetry. Fermentation will find the best combination of sugar and yeast for optimum ethanol production and the Calorimetry experiments test ethanol against other alcohols and fuels to see how it matches up in terms of energy production. Fermentation shows glucose and baker’s yeast as the fastest producers of ethanol and the calorimetry proves that ethanol and other alcohols produce more heat energy

To investigate how does the concentration of Hydrochloric acid affect the rate of reaction? Outline I aim to discover how different concentrations of Hydrochloric acid influence the rates of reaction. In order to carry out this investigation I have decided to use marble chips‚ which I will vary the sizes as powder‚ small chips and large chips. I will also be changing the concentration‚ the different concentrations are as follows 0.2m‚ 0.5m‚ 1m‚ 1.5‚ 2m. I have chosen these concentrations as they

different hormones on heart rate of _Daphnia_ was examined. It was investigated which substances act as stimulants and which substances act as depressant. Initially‚ _Daphnia_ was placed on depression slide under the microscope and the average heart rate was determined. Subsequently‚ _Daphnia_ was treated with different type of hormone and the effect on Daphnia heart rate was observed. It was investigated which substances act as stimulants and which substances act as depressant. Daphnia was treated with

Hypothesis: I hypothesis that the enzyme concentration will affect the rate of reaction but only up until a certain point because there is a limited supply of substrate. Enzymes are protein molecule that acts as biological catalyst by increasing the rate of reactions without changing the overall process. They are long chain amino acids bound together by peptide bonds. Enzymes are seen in all living cells and controlling the metabolic processes in which they converted nutrients into energy and new

METHODOLOGY After formulating the hypothesis that the molecular weight affects the rate of diffusion‚ three different kinds of substances --potassium permanganate (KMNO4)‚ potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and methylene blue (C16H18N3SCl)‚ were used to test the validity of the hypothesis. Potassium permanganate is an inorganic chemical compound which is in violet liquid form; potassium dichromate is an orange inorganic chemical reagent and methylene blue is a chemical compound commonly used for staining
