lab‚ caproic acid was synthesized in a multi-step process that involved the synthesis of three intermediates – diethyl n-butylmalonate‚ potassium n-butylmalonate‚ and n-butyl malonic acid respectively. An IR was used to characterize the starting material‚ n-bromobutane‚ and the first intermediate‚ diethyl n-butylmalonate; while IR and NMR were used to characterize the final product‚ caproic acid. Reactions‚ Mechanism and Theory Caproic acid a.k.a n-hexanoic acid is a carboxylic acid derived from

Samantha King’s‚ “Pink Ribbon‚ Inc.” examines breast cancer advocacy groups and dares to challenge the public perception of a venerated American charity‚ the Komen Foundation. Founded in 1982‚ the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was born from a sister’s love and a solemn promise to stop breast cancer from taking more lives. The foundation was pivotal in beginning a public dialog about breast cancer. It helped remove the disease’s stigma and effectively advocated for early detection.

reducing the pH‚ therefore the soil becomes too acidic. The donor can be an acid‚ such as nitric acid and sulfuric acid.The addition of the acids can be due to acid rain and pollution. Many nitrogen compounds‚ which are added as fertilizer‚ also acidify soil over the long term because they produce nitrous and nitric acid when oxidized in the process of nitrification. Acidification also occurs when base cations such as calcium‚ magnesium‚ potassium and sodium are leached from the soil. This leaching increases

In 1988‚ 3 years after he died‚ the NFP organized the very first Red Ribbon Week. Now Red Ribbon Week has been ongoing ever since to stop drug use because one person really can change the world. Multiple people go to drugs to escape the reality of what is going on in their life‚ whether it is a personal problem or peer pressure. They

quantity of magnesium metal to form chloride product. We then mass the final product and subtract to find the mass of chlorine in the product. Once we know the masses of elements in the compounds‚ we can convert to moles and determine the simplest whole number mole ratio. Objective The objective of this lab is to determine the empirical formula of magnesium chloride. Methodology 1. Measure the mass of an evaporating dish with its watch glass lid. 2. Obtain a strip of magnesium metal approximately

Advantages: Sulfamic acid is the fastest de-scaler - It dissociates into hydroxonium ions more readily in aqueous solution than the others‚ therefore giving a greater concentration of atoms that are able to react with the calcium in lime scale. It is safe to use because it does not produce chlorine gas [5]‚ which can be toxic. Sulfamic acid also has a low volatility. Disadvantages: Sulfamic Acid can be an irritant to eyes or skin and is the most expensive of the de-scalers. Q2) How these de-scalers
