objective of this laboratory experiment is to study both SN1 and SN2 reactions. The first part of the lab focuses on synthesizing 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol by using an SN2 mechanism. The obtained product will then be analyzed using infrared spectroscopy and refractive index. The second part of the lab concentrates on how different factors influence the rate of SN1 reactions. The factors that will be examined are the leaving group‚ Br versus Cl-; the structure of the alkyl group‚ 3◦ versus

Experiment 15 & 16: Preparation of 1-bromobutane‚ an SN2 reaction Preparation of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane‚ an SN1 reaction Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol and sodium bromide. In order for this reaction to reach completion there are four major operations that need to be performed. The four major operations include refluxing‚ simple distillation‚ separation‚ and drying. To begin‚ in order for the compounds to react they will be dissolved

shape of particles. These range from basic (generally older) techniques such as sieving and use of optical microscopes through to more advanced techniques‚ such as using a coulter counter‚ a scanning electron microscope or photon cross correlation spectroscopy. You will cover a range of techniques in the lectures that accompany this section of the module and you should refer to your lecture notes for further details. The aim of this practical is to examine different techniques used in particle size analysis;

Jones reagent. Borneol was mixed with glacial acetic acid and oxidized with sodium hypochlorite to make crude camphor. The crude camphor was purified by sublimation. The final product was characterized by obtaining a melting point and inferred spectroscopy. The experiment was carried out to see if bleach could oxidize borneol and if it is greener than using a Jones reagent. Sure enough camphor was made with a 4.03 g of unsublimed camphor and 0.08g of pure camphor with a 2 % yield (in moles). No melting

TITLE: Determination of Riboflavin by using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. ABSTRACT: The amount of Riboflavin in various brand of children multivitamins was determine by using UV-Vis spectroscopy instrument‚ the series of standard of riboflavin was prepared in order to determine the amount of the riboflavin in the sample of children multivitamins. The maximum amount of riboflavin was found in the Champs multivitamin that contains 0.1155 mg followed by Chewies 0.1131 mg and Scott’s 0.0672 mg. OBJECTIVES:

Neuroimaging in traumatic brain injury 1.COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) : While severe and moderate traumatic head and brain injuries often mandate head CT‚ several clinical scales require specific criteria in determining the need for neuroimaging after a mild TBI. These include the New Orleans Criteria (NOC) and the Canadian CT Head Rule (CCHR).(45) Both are relatively straight forward and use seven criteria readily obtained in the setting and evaluation of mild TBI. A head-to-head comparison

Femtochemistry is the branch of chemistry in which chemical reactions are detected as they occur and the reaction times are measured. Femtochemistry gets its name from the fact that these times are measured in femtoseconds. One femtosecond
