    Investigating Functionalism Functionalism is a theory about the nature of mental states. According to functionalism‚ mental states are functional states that are defined by their functional roles (causal relations to other things) rather than their intrinsic qualities. To illustrate the difference between the two ways of defining something‚ entities such as clocks (to display time) and calculators (to manipulate numbers) are defined functionally‚ whereas entities such as water (H2O) and gold (Au)

    water bath. The solution was cooled slowly in an ice bath as crystals form out. As the compound crystallizes from the solution‚ the limiting reagent Aniline and the percent yield of 96% was obtained. Introduction: This experiment involves four functional groups common in organic chemistry. The substrate (reactants) which are Aniline and Acetic anhydride are both liquids and one of the products is solid (Acetanilide). The reaction of aniline with acetic anhydride is a transformation in which products

    Reading and Though  In Dwight MacDonald’s Reading and Though‚ he disagrees with Henry Luce’s Idea of functional curiosity. Luce coined the term “functional curiosity‚” meaning “the kind of searching‚ hungry interest in what is happening everywhere.” MacDonald’s opinion of functional curiosity is that it only encourages practice in reading rather than giving beneficial information. He considers today’s literature as flimsy and overwhelming. MacDonald assumes that all reading done in today’s society

The overall reaction is shown in equation 1; however the mechanism of the reaction depends on the structure of the alkyl group bearing the functional group being replaced. R−OH + H-X → R−X + H2O (1) th The reaction may occur by one of two mechanisms designated SN1 or SN2. Which mechanism operates depends on the structure of the R group and the reaction conditions. The first step in both mechanisms

    Grignard reaction Abstract: In this laboratory‚ triphenylmethanol was synthesised from reacting benzophenone and bromobenzene using Grignard reaction. As the reaction was to set up to produce a Grignard reagent and then recrystallize it to obtain pure sample. The percentage yield obtained was 55% and its melting point was 161 co which is within the literature value 160-163 co. In addition to that the IR spectroscopy confirmed the molecule structure to be triphenylmethanol. Introduction: The Grignard

    stabilised enolate ion which perfectly be acylated through treatment with an acyl halide yielding the product of interest. However‚ the major limitation of using this type of chemistry in organic synthesis is that if there are other base sensitive functional groups we wish to retain in our starting material‚ the use of a strong base will lead to the formation of vast amounts of unanticipated acylation reaction products. In 1954‚ Gilbert Stork developed another synthesis method that effectively yield
