EXPERIMENT 1: REACTIONS OF ENOLATE IONS WITH CARBONYL GROUPS Aims In this experiment we used two techniques for the reactions of enolate ions with carbonyl groups. One technique used was Doebner reaction and the other technique used was Claisen-Schmidt reaction. Therefore the aim of this experiment is to synthesize trans p-methoxycinnamic acid and to synthesize dibenzalacetone via an aldol condensation reaction between acetone and benzaldehyde. The products would be recrystallized using ethanol

Athletes who can perform at a fairly high velocity‚ or that can put objects in high velocity‚ tend to excel in their sport‚ especially power sports. Due to the importance of velocity in most power sports

The coming of sound was an innovation to cinema that forever changed the way films were produced‚ viewed and performed. Sound plays many roles in the way a film is narrated and perceived by the audience. Sound‚ as defined in the Oxford Dictionary of Film Studies‚ ‘is central to the way in which a film establishes setting‚ shapes character‚ signposts its narrative‚ directs the audience’s and instils general emotional states’ (2012: 385). Sunrise: a song of two humans by F.W. Munrau was released in

different ways of how sound particles react in many different situations. Some are able to have high chances of interaction such as reverberation and echoes‚ while other venues forced the sound to distribute or even be absorbed. Many areas the class had been taken through also had large capabilities of reflecting sound completely. The class was taken through two studio rooms; Studio A and Studio B. Also‚ the class had the opportunity to witness the mechanics of sound as it traveled

LIVE SOUND Tim Price FdSc 2A 15th January 2010 D4: LIVE SOUND ENGINEERING.. THEORY The role of an audio engineer is no longer exclusive to the recording studio. The skill set of a modern engineer extends to video‚ radio‚ graphics and many more. One of the key growth areas for finding employment opportunities in the sector‚ is that of live sound engineering. The theory of live sound is one which combines the two things present in most musical engineering‚ technical ability and intuition. Each

Jhavon Crenshaw Professor Madden English Composition 30 September 2012 Sound Engineering As a future audio engineer‚ it is in my best interest to learn the techniques of audio production. For editing sound you need the proper equipment‚ whether it is software or hardware. In order to give sound a little flavor you will need to know about mixing. Mastering is what ultimately completes the sound. Equipment‚ mixing‚ and mastering are the most important steps in audio production. The majority
