CHM 3411 – Problem Set 6 Due date: Wednesday‚ March 23rd. Do all of the following problems. Show your work. 1) Consider the cyclic molecule C8H8‚ the eight carbon analogue to benzene. a) Write the secular detrerminant corresponding to the pi-bonding in C8H8. b) Using the secular determinant‚ the following energies are found for the pi-bonding molecular orbitals: 1 = + 2 2 = + 1.41 (two states) 3 = (two states) 4 = - 1.41 (two states) 5 = - 2 Give the electron

Introduction: During this laboratory exercise will identify by the graph given which is isotonic‚ hypotonic‚ or hypertonic. The kidneys are a pair of fist-sized organs located outside the peritoneal cavity on each side of the spine. The kidney is a highly specialized organ that maintains the internal environment of the body by selectively excreting or retaining various substances according to specific body needs. The process of urine formation and adjustment of blood composition involves three

Questions and Hypothesis: Seed germination‚ plant growth‚ and sprouting of leaves are affected by several factors: supply of nutrients‚ water‚ exposure to sunlight‚ and conditions of surroundings. Due to certain stimuli in the surroundings plant “hormones” cause plants to behave in ways that ensure the most efficient use of resources while preserving the most energy. One stimulus to consider‚ is the exposure of plants to sunlight; when plants are just sprouting and are underground‚ the sti

IB Chemistry Experiment 4 Composition of a Post-1983 Penny Lab Report Background: Through the use of percent composition one can easily find out how much of a certain element is in a compound or an item such as a post-1983 penny. The experiment will be using HCl a strong acid to dissolve all the zinc inside the outer copper shell. The reaction follows as such; Zn+2HCLZnCl2+H2‚ but there will be no reaction with copper. The portion that will be measured is the mass of copper left after all of

established that heart rate in Daphnia magna increases when there is a progressive lack of oxygen present. (Baumer et.al 2002). When the salinity of water increases there are increases in Na+ ions as well as Cl- ions. This increase in ion concentration causes a change in osmotic alternation and a competition between all the ions. (de la Paz Gomez-Diaz and Martinez-Jeronimo 2008). Although increase in salinity has been known to be detrimental to the health of the Daphnia magna‚ if high enough can result in mortality

washing one ’s hands‚ colonies formed on agar plates with fingerprints after using : water‚ water with soap and 70% EtOH‚ were compared with one another and with unwashed hand colonies. The structure-function relationship is important for the identification of cell types. By identifying the cell organelles‚ we determined the tissues in the pictures showed as liver‚ kidney‚ pancreas‚ plasma‚ or accessory testis cells (Tedelind and Brix‚ 2013). 4. Discussion 4.1

Alkali Metals Introduction Alkali metals refer to six elements belonging to the Group IA of the long form of the Modern Periodic Table‚ viz. Lithium (Li)‚ Sodium (Na)‚ Potassium (K)‚ Rubidium (Rb)‚ Cesium (Cs) and Francium (Fr). Fr is a radioactive element. These elements are called so because they form strongly alkaline oxides and hydroxides. Electronic Configuration of Alkali Metals Each of the alkali metals has one electron in their outermost (valence) shell‚ which is just outside an inert

The Density of Metals Lab BACKROUND: Density is a constant relationship between the mass and volume of a specific type of matter. Measurements of both mass and volume can be obtained for a metal sample. The relationship can be shown graphically by plotting the volume of a sample on the horizontal x-axis and the mass of the sample along the vertical y-axis. Plotting the values for several samples‚ a linear relationship can be seen for a density (slope=density). PURPOSE: During this lab‚ you will investigate

Osmosis The purpose of this lab is to study how membranes of plant and animal cells react when exposed to different solutions. The first experiment involves purple onion skin and the second involves rat blood in various solutions. I needed to understand certain terms before preforming this lab to be able to efficiently explain what is happening to the cells. Diffusion is the tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area.

Screening and identification of rhizobacteria isolated from heavy metal contaminated soils INTRODUCTION As a result of human activities such as mining‚ agriculture and industrial activity‚ heavy metal pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems today. Elevated levels of heavy metals not only decrease soil microbial activity and crop production‚ but also threaten human health through the food chain. Soil microorganisms can degrade organic contaminants‚ while metals need immobilization
