Bill Kozel Ms. Livingston English Comp 2 18 September 2012 Alternative Fuels in America On a national average the world uses 87.8 million barrels of crude oil on a daily basis. In 2000 it was estimated that the US alone consumed nearly 20 million barrels of oil a day‚ which is about 5% more than similar nations (Friedman 195). Oil consumption is only going to increase until it peaks‚ then it will steadily decrease as oil supply goes down. It is predicted that oil consumption will peak by the year

Solvent Results from colorimeter 0.001 Acid (Hydrochloric) 0.358 Ethanol 0.132 Hot water 0.984 Cold water-distilled water (control) 0.057 CONLUSION: The results show that hot water gave the highest average absorbance reading from the colorimeter‚ followed by hydrochloric acid‚ ethanol and cold water‚ in descending order of absorbance. The absorbance of the solvent that was hot water affected the most the permeability

Experiment 1: Bromination of Acetanilide1 Precautions: Ethanol is flammable Sodium hypochlorite is an oxidizing agent and releases toxic fumes (handle in fume hood) Acetic acid is corrosive‚ harmful if inhaled‚ flammable and can cause burns (handle in fume hood) Gloves are recommended to avoid chemical contact with skin Reaction Scheme: Conversion of acetanilide to p-bromoacetanilide Procedure: To a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing a mixture of 95% ethanol (6 mL) and acetic acid (5 mL)‚ dissolve acetanilide

Discussion & Error Analysis: By examining the unknown alcohol’s H NMR spectra‚ it can be deduced that the alcohol is 1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethanol. There are three peaks that have a shift of ~7.0-7.5‚ one with integration values of 1‚ 2‚ and 1.This shows that the alcohol is a meta-substituted benzene ring. The singlet peak with a chemical shift of~ 4.7 ppm with an integration of 1 is from the hydrogen on the OH group. The peak at ~ 1.7 ppm corresponds to the hydrogen of the carbon that is attached

distillation‚ the percent ethanol and percent loss of 15 mL of vodka was computed. The calculations were supported by a flammability test. With the distillation process reaching 100oC‚ 6.0 mL of distillate was collected. The determination of ethanol from the distillate was conducted through the flammability test‚ which resulted to 4.5 mL. After the needed computations‚ it was measured that the percent ethanol was 30% and the percent loss was 26%. Keywords: simple distillation‚ percent ethanol‚ percent loss

chemistry‚ alcohol is an organic compound that has a lot of uses in it. There are many different types of alcohol such as methanol‚ ethanol and propanol. They have different types of usage. Generally‚ alcohol can use for drinking‚ in medical use‚ as a solvent‚ as fuel‚ as additives inside the cosmetics as well as a cleaning agent. Normal use of alcohol in beverages is ethanol. Nowadays‚ there is very common that a restaurant or an establishment serving alcoholic beverages like beers‚ cocktails‚ wines

An alcoholic beverage is a drink containing chemicals from the alcohol family. Mostly ethyl alcohol (ethanol‚ EtOH)‚ other alcohols are usually present only in small quantities‚ notably consumable t-Amyl alcohol (t-Amylol‚ t-AmOH) which is about 20X more potent than ethanol‚ and hazardous methanol with much weaker sedative effect than ethanol‚ thus are not prohibited by law or regulated by taxation in most if not all countries. However‚ alcoholic beverages are divided into three general classes for

LAB OF ENTHALPY CHANGE IN COMBUSTION Objective: Determine the Enthalpy change of combustion ΔHc of three different alcohols. Methanol‚ Ethanol and Isopropilic acid. Procedure: 1. Fill the spirit micro burner with Ethanol and weight it 2. Pour 100 cm3 of water into the aluminum cup 3. Arrange the cup a short distance over the micro burner 4. Measure the temperature of water 5. When the temperature of the water has risen by 10°C‚ record the temperature. 6. Reweight

Although alcohol is sometimes seen as a recreation‚ it is truly a deadly substance. To start‚ by prohibiting alcohol‚ it will prevent the physical symptoms of alcohol. Also‚ by making alcohol unauthorized for consumption‚ people will also be avoiding health problems. In addition‚alcohol contains hazerdous chemicals that are unhealthy towards humans.To add‚ alcohol also has a numerous amount of non-benefits toward human nutrients consumption. To sum up‚ by making alcohol unauthorized for consumption
