Properties and Reactions of Hydrocarbons Abstract Introduction Hydrocarbons are organic materials that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms‚ these molecules can be saturated or unsaturated and acyclic‚ cyclic‚ or aromatic. In this experiment we used a variety of methods to examine the physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons. The first experiment we tested a variety of solvents to see if they dissolved our alkane (Decalin). One would expect that non-polar solvents will dissolve

Coursework Rates of Reaction Research The rate of reaction tells us how quickly a chemical reaction takes place. It is important for people in industry to know how fast a reaction goes. They have to know exactly how much of their product they can make each hour‚ day or week. In a shampoo factory‚ the rate might be 100 bottles per minute. We can’t work out the rate of a reaction from its chemical equation. Equations can only tells us how much product we can get. They don’t say how quickly

Reminder: These notes are meant to supplement‚ not replace the laboratory manual. SN1 Reaction Notes Background and Application Substitution Nucleophilic First Order (SN1) reactions are one of the most common type of organic reactions. SN1 reactions can be used to make a wide variety of new compounds. In this experiment‚ t-amyl alcohol will be converted by a SN1 mechanism to 2-chloro-2-methylbutane. Safety Precautions Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid is 12M. It will cause visible destruction

Work from home new mantra for IBM employees The last time Kumar‚ a sales executive working with IBM India‚ visited his company’s registered office in Bangalore was some six months ago to get his broken attendance card replaced. Kumar‚ 35‚ is among nearly 50‚000 IBM India employees who are working from anywhere‚ but the office. "I do not have to show my face to my boss anymore‚ well at least for a few weeks or months at a stretch‚" says Kumar‚ who requested that his first name not be revealed. "I

Amanda Dundee BEANO CASE QUESTIONS 1. Harris’s partnership proposal is not fair for Smith. He completely revised the original investment amount and loan deal that they had original discussed. He is asking to raise his share to 49%‚ which would pose many problems for Smith in the control of the company. Giving Harris that high of a stake in the franchise would be giving him a lot more money‚ and half of the control. Smith would be dependent on Harris‚ and if something suddenly happened to

Everyone has different stress triggers. Work stress tops the list‚ according to surveys. Forty percent of U.S. workers admit to experiencing office stress‚ and one-quarter say work is the biggest source of stress in their lives. Stress is actually a normal part of life. At times‚ it serves a useful purpose. Stress can motivate you to get that promotion at work‚ or run the last mile of a marathon. But if you don’t get a handle on your stress and it becomes long term‚ it can seriously interfere with

Lab #5: Grignard Reaction – Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol John Kang Chem 152L Performed: 7/20/04 Date submitted: ________________ Lab Partners: Sang Lee‚ Vicky Lai TA: John Stanko Abstract: This experiment explored the synthesis of triphenylmethanol through the use of Grignard reagents. The percent yield of the product was 10% on a relatively humid day. The melting point was calculate to be 127.2oC with a literature value of 162oC. An IR spectrum of the product was taken and used

complex reactions and reaction sequences‚ where raw materials react together to give the product. Such chemical process often releases energy‚ in the form of heat‚ and the reaction is described as exothermic. Many of these reactions may also evolve gases at high rates‚ and could cause reactor over-pressure. Thermal runaway reaction Runaway reactions are thermally unstable reactions where the heat of reaction can raise the temperature of the reactants sufficiently to accelerate the reaction rate out
