aqueous solution of formaldehyde is called formalin. The commercially available formalin has 10 to 12% methanol with a few impurities like aluminum and copper. Almost 21 million tonnes of formaldehyde is produced annually all around the world. Synthesis of Formaldehyde Formaldehyde is produced by catalytic oxidation of methanol. A mixture of molybdenum and iron or silver is used as a catalyst in such a reaction. But a more commonly used process is FORMAX. In this process‚ methanol and oxygen

Synthesis Essay In today’s society‚ language is one of the most important and most used things in everyday life. Language is one of the most effective and efficient ways of communicating with one another‚ animals‚ and God. It can be used as a mirror‚ tool‚ or a weapon. The reason I think language can be used as a mirror is because people use language to directly reflect who they are as a person. For example‚ if you have heard someone using improper grammar or slang‚ it may lead you to believe

Experiment 2 and 3: Synthesis of Aspirin and Determination of Melting Point A. Abstract Aspirin is the common name for the compound acetylsalicylic acid‚ widely used as a fever reducer and as a pain killer. The first part of the experiment aims to synthesize aspirin from the reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride with the aid of phosphoric acid as a catalyst. The second part of the experiment aims to assess the purity of aspirin through the determination of its melting point and

Synthesis of DEET Abstract: For this experiment m-toluic acid was reacted with thionyl chloride resulting in a nucleophilic acyl substitution which could then be used to create DEET with excess diethyl amine (Figure 1). This was done by adding diethyl amine drop wise using a seperatory funnel which resulted in a gas formation which was controlled with a condenser attached to a gas vacuum. The resulting mixture was then washed to remove excess acids and bases and rotovapped. DEET was synthesized

Experiment 23: Synthesis of an Alkene April 5‚ 2013 Purpose: Results and Discussion The weight of our n-Butyl Bromide sample (actual yield) was 0.09g. The percent yield was found to be 4.38%. Only 0.09g of the theoretical 2.055g yield was obtained. The boiling point was 104° C‚ which is higher than the literature value of 101° C. This is due to the sample being somewhat impure‚ as impurities tend to increase boiling point. When IR spectroscopy was performed‚ there were no OH stretches

Synthesis Essay In our world‚ we constantly encounter problems. There will be more significant and life-changing obstacles‚ and also many smaller‚ less threatening ones. But what matters most is not the size or relevance of those challenges‚ but instead‚ it is more important as to how one deals with the problem. Adversity of all different types and sizes reveals one’s character. One type of adversity‚ physical adversity‚ happens in various ways. In Mitch Albom’s book‚ Tuesdays with Morrie‚ Albom

replication in a eukaryotic cell is more difficult. DNA of an eukaryotic cell is in chromatin form to fit into the small nucleus for the replication to occur‚ first the DNA should open. This is because it is harder for eukaryotes to carry out DNA synthesis. Replication of DNA in a prokaryote is different from a eukaryote. In a prokaryote they have a single origin where the replication process starts. Also eukaryotes synthesize the same time they are being transcribed‚ and ribosomes will be active
