Kinetic theory of gases Question: How does odor travel from one place to another? Kinetic theory of gases A gas is composed of atoms or molecules The gas particles are in constant random motion Kinetic energy is transferred between particles as they collide Pressure The force exerted per unit of area Formula: pressure/force area Measured by barometer A vacuum is empty space‚ with no particles or pressure. Atmospheric pressure is the collision air particles with objects Units of

The kinetics of the Harcourt-Essen Reaction (Hydrogen peroxide variation) Aims: To find the order of the reaction with respect to the Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)‚ Potassium Iodide (KI) and the Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4) by the use of an Iodine clock reaction. Calculate the rate constant‚ mechanism and equation Find the effects of temperature on the rate of reaction The effects of a catalyst on the rate of reaction Find the activation enthalpy (Ea) of the reaction‚ with and without a catalyst Background:
Premium Chemical kinetics Reaction rate
Introduction Chemical Kinetics‚ described as the study of rate of chemical processes‚ varies on many factors to determine the time needed for a reaction to complete. The rate of reaction of a chemical reaction is important‚ as reactions are of little use if the time period needed for the reaction to occur is too lengthy. Many factors influence the rate of a chemical reaction‚ such as temperature‚ concentration and surface area. The order of the reaction is based on the concentration of the reactants

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

Properties of Alcohols and Phenols Experiment #3 Objectives: To observe the solubility of alcohols relative to their chemical structure‚ to perform chemical tests to distinguish primary‚ secondary and tertiary alcohols‚ and a color test for phenol. Introduction The general formula of an alcohol is ROH in which the R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group. Alcohols may be looked upon as derivatives of water‚ HOH. One hydrogen of water is substituted by an alkyl group‚ R. Like water‚ alcohols show hydrogen

Lab 5 Oxidation of an alcohol CHM2123 Introduction: Oxidation is a key reaction in organic chemistry. Oxidation of an alcohol can produce aldehydes‚ ketones‚ or carboxylic acids. One of the methods of oxidation is an aldol reaction through carbon-carbon bonds. The oxidation oxidizes primary alcohols to aldehydes and secondary alcohols oxidizes ketones. Tertiary alcohols are converted to the common oxidizing agents. Scheme 5.1: Aldehydes can be oxidized easily to carboxylic acids in aqueous medias

puck of mass m initially at speed u collides head-on (without rotation) with a stationary puck of mass M. Find the velocities of both puck after the collision if: i) the collision is fully elastic ii) the collision if fully inelastic. i) momentum: kinetic energy: mu = mv+MV (+ve in direction of initial u) 1 /2 m u2 = 1/2 m v2 + 1/2 M V2 2 eqns in 2 unknowns: V = (u - v) m/M substitute in K eqn: u2 = v2 + (M/m) V2 = v2 + (M/m) (u - v)2 (m/M)2 = v2 + (u - v)2 (m/M) let ρ = (m/M) ⇒ v2 (1 + ρ) - 2ρ

Combustion Of Alcohols Planning This investigation involves burning alcohol in the air. Key science- Chemistry by Eileen Ramsden says that " an alcohol is a series of organic‚ homologous compounds‚ with the general formula Cn H2n+1OH". The alcohol reacts with the oxygen in the air to form the products water and carbon dioxide: Cn H2n+1OH +(n+n/2)-1O2 ? nH2O + nCO2 The structure of the molecules in this reaction is: H H | | H - C - C - O- H + 3[O=O] ? 1/2[O=C=O] + 3[H-O-H] | | H H This reaction

Part I - Introduction Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts to regulate metabolism by selectively speeding up chemical reactions in the cell without being consumed during the process. During the catalytic action‚ the enzyme binds to the substrate – the reactant enzyme acts on – and forms an enzyme-substrate complex to convert the substrate into the product. Each type of enzyme combines with its specific substrate‚ which is recognized by the shape. In the enzymatic reaction‚ the initial rate
