Discussion The purpose of this lab is to display the influence of retronasal olfaction when it comes to flavor. Humans have two different types of olfaction. Olfaction is the detection of chemicals in the air. These chemicals which are meant to activate odor receptors‚ are called odorants. Humans have approximately 20 million olfactory receptors‚ which is only a fraction compared to bloodhounds who have 4 billion. The first type of olfaction is called orthonasal olfaction which is inhaling. Here

uniform disk of radius R = 0.25 m has a string wrapped around it‚ and a m = 3 kg weight is hanging on the string. The system of the weight and disk is released from rest. a) When the 3 kg weight is moving with a speed of 2.2 m/s‚ what is the kinetic energy of the entire system? KETOT = KEwheel+KEweight = (1/2)(I)(w2)+(1/2)(m*v2) =(0.5* v2)(m+1/2M) =0.5*(2.2^2)*(3+(.5*15)) J b) If the system started from rest‚ how far has the weight fallen?

Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate constants‚ k1‚ for the methyl acetate hydrolysis reaction at 25 °C and 35 °C‚ as well as the overall activation energy of the reaction. Methods Methyl acetate was placed in an HCl solution‚ in which it reacts with water to form acetic acid over time. At each time interval‚ an aliquot of the mixture was removed for titration against NaOH to determine the concentration of the acetic acid produced. From the amount of acetic acid produced

Soda and Mentos Reaction: Any kind of Soda and Mentos interaction will expedite a geyser of both carbon dioxide and foam. Soda has a few properties‚ for instance‚ an sweetener or an artificial flavouring‚ but it’s main factor that contributes to the reaction is carbonated water. Carbonated water is basically water with Carbon Dioxide compressed within it‚ it causes the drink to be fizzy and bubbly. This contributes to the reaction because it the fizz and bubbles are gas‚ which tries to escape from

Single Displacement Reaction The objective of this experiment was to observe evidence of a reaction and to determine the chemical equation‚ if there is a reaction. In order for a reaction to occur‚ a metal strip must have evidence of black or grey deposits on the surface of the metal once dipped into the solution. The reactivity of an element is related to its tendency to lose or gain electrons. Three metal strips that were used are copper‚ lead and zinc as well as the solutions of silver nitrate

In this essay‚ it will be discussed how the Kinetic Molecular Theory explains many gas law specifically Boyle’s gas law‚ Charles’ gas law‚ and Avogadro’s gas law. To understand what will be talked about is to first know what the Kinetic Molecular Theory is. In our textbook is says it is “A simple model for gases that predicts the behavior of most gases under many conditions.” First off‚ we will take a look at Boyle’s Law. As stated in our lab manual “at constant temperature the pressure which a given

Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction was discovered by Otto Diels and Kurt Alder and is very useful in the synthesis of polycyclic compounds. The Diels-Alder reaction can be described as: [4+2] cycloaddition- a diene with 4 π electrons + 2π electrons from the dienophile; a pericyclic concerted reaction- meaning the reaction occurs in a single step (no intermediates) and involves a cyclic redistribution of bonding electrons. In order for a Diels-Alder reaction to take place the diene must
