Rayon is a manufactured regenerated cellulose fiber. Because it is produced from naturally occurring polymers‚ it is neither a truly synthetic fiber nor a natural fiber; it is a semi-synthetic[1] fiber. Rayon Fiber Characteristics o Highly absorbent o Soft and comfortable o Easy to dye o Drapes well Some Major Rayon Fiber Uses • Apparel: Accessories‚ blouses‚ dresses‚ jackets‚ lingerie‚ linings‚ millinery‚ slacks‚ sportshirts‚ sportswear‚ suits

Polish the zinc strip using steel wool and then determine its mass. Allow the strip to sit in lead acetate for approximately an hour and observe the changes in the zinc strip. The zinc starts to accumulate particulate matter (lead particles) on its surface. This is cause by the chemical reaction that occurs between the lead acetate and the zinc strip. The strip is then rinsed in water and acetate and then dried. The particles of lead are scraped off the strip and dried thoroughly and then weighed

CHEM 3152-003 Experiment 2: Fractional Distillation and Gas Chromatography Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a mixture of ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and toluene by using the method of fractional distillation and to analyze the fractions using gas chromatography (GC). ethyl acetate toluene Distillation is a method known as separating or purifying a liquid or mixture by vaporization and condensation. In a simple distillation‚ the liquids being separated boil below 150 0C

how much they resist changes to pH. This is accomplished by having ten graduated beakers: two containing pure water‚ two with .1 M Sodium Chloride‚ two with 1 gram of solid sodium acetate dissolved in acetic acid‚ two with 5 grams of solid sodium acetate dissolved in acetic acid‚ and two with 10 grams of solid sodium acetate dissolved in acetic acid. These are split into two groups of five containing one of each solution. The pH of each solution is then measured and a pipette is used to distribute 1

Synthesis and Purification of Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA or Aspirin) Background Salicylic acid is a phenol as well as a carboxylic acid. It can therefore undergo two different types of esterification reactions‚ creating an ester either with the hydroxyl or with the acid. In the presence of acetic anhydride‚ acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin or ASA) is formed. Correspondingly‚ an excess of methanol will form methyl salicylate‚ which is also an analgesic. In this experiment‚ we shall use

Project 1: Polymer Ball Vivian Kim General Chemistry 2045L Introduction Our assignment in this project was to create a bouncy ball for a company using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)‚ polyvinyl acetate solid and sodium borate‚ by varying the ration of ingredients and to determine the best recipe for our bouncy ball. The company chose the materials because of their odorless and nontoxic properties. PVA is a water-soluble synthetic polymer and has adhesive properties

from the acid; the principal source of the acetate ion is from the salt. Therefore‚ the [H3O+] is determined by the salt/acid (or equivalently‚ the base/acid) mole ratio. For a conjugate acid/base pair: pH = pKa + log10 [nconjugate base] [nacid] On the other hand‚ the salt‚ sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2)‚ is essentially 100% dissociated into the constituent hydrated ions in a dilute aqueous solution. Sodium acetate solutions are basic because the acetate ion (the conjugate base of acetic acid) behaves
