William Ramsay William Ramsay was born on the second of October‚ in the year 1852. William‚ and his parents‚ William and Catherine‚ lived in Glasgow‚ Scotland. William Ramsay performed his work in his native town‚ until 1870 when he went to Tübingen and earned his doctorate in 1872. When returned to Scotland later that year‚ he became an assistant chemist at the Anderson College in Glasgow. Eight years later‚ he was appointed principal and professor of chemistry at London University‚ which

its subsequent oxidation in solution to adipic acid using an excess of strong nitric acid. This report deals with KA oil/cyclohexanol production by various routes‚ followed by the common step of nitric acid oxidation. KA oil production from cyclohexane by the cobalt catalyst and boric acid air oxidation routes is reviewed. Production of KA oil from phenol is also covered‚ as is the Asahi process for cyclohexanol production from benzene via cyclohexene. Appropriately adjusted nitric acid oxidation

Raw Materials for 3M Super 77 Multipurpose Spray Adhesive In the wake of mass production‚ which started in the late eighteenth century as a result of the industrial revolution‚ consumerism has been on the rise in exponential terms. The high demands that human civilization puts on earth’s resources stems from consumerism‚ and as a society it is important to take a moment and think about the impacts each and every one of our material goods has. This impact can be traced within the lifecycle of a product;

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to derive Isopentyl acetate (banana oil) from the reaction of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid in a process called Fischer esterification (Fischer-Speier esterification). The name‚ banana oil‚ is due to banana odour released by formation of Isopentyl acetate. The alcohol and the carboxylic acid used in this experiment are Isopentyl alcohol and Glacial Acetic Acid. Both the overall reaction of Fischer esterification and the specific Fischer esterification

krypton. Neon was discovered while the two were working on experiments involving liquefied air. Neon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe. It is produced when the air is liquefied and separated from the various other gases by “fractional distillation”. Despite the fact that it is so plentiful & bountiful‚ neon is only 0.0018% of the earth’s atmosphere. The electron configuration of neon is 1s^2 2s^2‚ 2p^6. A mixture of three isotopes makes up natural neon. There are five other unstable
