BACKGROUND: Esterification is a reaction that combines an alcohol with an organic acid‚ with a water molecule is being taken out‚ and an ester is formed. A concentrated acid catalyst speeds up the esterification. In this experiment set up‚ sulphamic acid was used‚ as it is a solid acid and be added dry‚ without any water‚ which is a reactant in this experiment equilibrium. Esterification is a slow and reversible reaction. The equation for the reaction between an acid RCOOH and an alcohol RẬᶦ

Objective To determine soluble solid concentration in some fruits including tropical and temperate fruits by using handheld refractometer. Introduction “Sugar are the major soluble in fruits juices and estimate of sweetness. Other soluble materials include organic and amino acids‚ soluble pectins‚ and others. Soluble solid concentration can be determined in a small sample of fruits juice using a hand held refractometer. The measurement must be made at 20°C to get an accurate value. This instrument

Determination of the Enthalpy for Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Objective: To construct a coffee cup calorimeter‚ measure its calorimeter constant‚ and determine the enthalpy of decomposition and formation of hydrogen peroxide. Background: This experiment is a classic thermodynamics lab. In it‚ we attempt to measure the enthalpy (H) of a chemical reaction. The main obstacle is that this is a quantity that cannot be measured directly. It instead is observed as heat from one substance is transferred

For instance‚ one who comes from hardship certainly can work through and excel in a way some call unbelievable due to grit. A passionate individual who stays committed to a long term goal will not have things handed to them by chance‚ but will work hard to achieve challenging goals. By being steadfast‚ one’s tenacity is admirable especially when becoming triumphant against all odds. As Angela Duckworth‚ professor of psychology‚ states in her best seller Grit‚ “The highly accomplished are gratified

Henri Murphy Mr. Dietrich English 101 29 Aug 2014 Determination I have been in school for twelve years and seen many friends drop out. I’ve never understood how they could make it so far and just give up. But the only thing that seems to make any since is a lack of determination. It is very good to have vivid image of the things you want in life. A lion doesn’t hunt its prey with its eyes closed so don’t blindly chase after a dream or hope to accomplish something without putting any effort

2010). According to Charnov and Bull (1977)‚ genotypic sex determination (GSD) is less beneficial than environmental sex determination‚ such as TDS‚ when environments are not stable and the sexes have a dissimilarity in reproductive fitness. Sex ratios in sea turtles are usually female-biased due to increased incubation periods‚ which can lead to

Tom Tribal Economic Development Midterm March 1‚ 2010 1. Define what is tribal “self-determination”? Discuss how “self-determination” has influenced economic growth in the modern tribal economy. Tribal self-determination was a way to better life for American Indians. Three main factors were put into place to help American Indians with the self-determination act. The first one is tribal self rule. A second factor would have to be cultural survival. Finally a third factor

Determination of a Rate Law Megan Gilleland 10.11.2012 Dr. Charles J. Horn Abstract: This two part experiment is designed to determine the rate law of the following reaction‚ 2I-(aq) + H2O2(aq) + 2H+I2(aq) + 2H2O(L)‚ and to then determine if a change in temperature has an effect on that rate of this reaction. It was found that the reaction rate=k[I-]^1[H2O2+]^1‚ and the experimental activation energy is 60.62 KJ/mol. Introduction The rate of a chemical reaction often
