Alie Bandasack Olive Oil Extra Credit. The methods to processing olive oil starts with picking the best olives. Next‚ they are crushed into paste‚ then add a little bit of water to turn it into little clumps. The mixture is later stirred and heated to about 82 degrees. Next‚ it is pressed into a compartment and rotated at a high speed and the paste and water/oil are separated. Now the oil may be bleached‚ deodorized and refined. Olive oil is composed mainly of mixed triglyceride esters of oleic

Mineral oil is most commonly put to use in our daily lives as baby oil‚ which has a fragrance added to it. It is clear‚ odorless and colorless. It is formed as a by-product during the distillation of petroleum from crude oil‚ to produce gasoline and other petroleum-based products. It is produced in very large quantities and is inexpensively available in drug stores. Due to its easy availability and low value‚ it is put into use in a wide range of avenues. As a Laxative Doctors often recommend

oxidation numbers range from Mn (III) in compounds like Mn(NO)3CO to Mn (VII) in KMnO4. Compounds of manganese range in oxidation number between theses two extremes. This experiment involves the preparation of a Mn (III) complex of actylacetone (also named 2‚4-pentanedione) which is a useful starting material for the preparation of other Mn (III) compounds. Manganese (III) complexes are relatively stable and can be prepared directly by reactions of the hydrous manganese (III) oxide or by oxidation
