Organic Lab 2 February 14‚ 2009 Experiment 4: Borohydride Reduction of 2-Methylcyclohexanone Introduction: When learning about reduction reactions‚ we know that the addition of nucleophilic hydride anion (H-) to the carbonyl group will in turn result in the reduction of aldehydes to primary alcohols. Borohydride‚ and Lithuim aluminum hydride are commonly used as reducing agents. We can note that both of these reagents have a (H-) anion‚ hence it will be a powerful base and also take the

Figure 1 shows the average amount of absorbance for each tube‚ containing different levels of pH. Tube 2 had an acidic pH level‚ Tube 3 had a neutral pH level‚ and Tube 4 had a basic pH level. It is indicated that the absorbance rates were the highest for the neutral pH level‚ with a final absorbance rate of 0.166. This was followed by a basic pH (0.106). The acidic pH level had the least amount of absorbance with a final absorbance rate of 0.069. This reinforces the idea that the ALP enzyme worked

Amazon Warrior Women 1. Who were the Amazon Warrior Women? A group of Women warriors thought to have settled around the Black Sea. Who mated with vanquished foes and only kept the female children they bore. 2. Where are references to the Amazons found? The first account was found in Homer’s ILIAD‚ an account of the Trojan War. Greek historian Herodotus talked about a group of women warriors in his writing around 5th or 6th century B.C. 3. What evidence is there that the Amazons may have existed

Observations: When Malaria is present and infects red blood cells‚ parasites can infect cells carrying defective hemoglobin which may result in death. Allele frequency changes over time depending on the pressures or circumstances facing a particular population. African populations are especially impacted by both malaria and sickle cell anemia. Depending on the impacted population‚ allele frequency often shifts and well suited organisms are likely to survive and allele frequencies can increase

Stinson‚ Margie Biology 210 Lab Questions: Phylum Annelida You will learn the answers to most of these questions in class and in lab. Great resource: http://www.bumblebee.org/invertebrates/ANNELIDA.htm 1. What does the word annelida mean? 2. Recall‚ some of the nematode worms appeared superficially to have external rings. Describe true segmentation in annelids. How is the true segmentation in annelids differ from having rings around the ectoderm as in nematodes? 3. What two layers

2014 Preparation and IR Analysis of 2-chloride-2-methylbutane Line Reaction Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to react 2-methyl-2-butanol with concentrated HCl in order to form 2-chloride-2-methylbutane. The hydrogen for the HCl make the -OH from the 2-methyl-2-butanol into a good leaving group because H2O is formed. The H2O leaves and Cl- is free to bond with the carbocation creating 2-chloride-2-methylbutane. The materials needed for the lab were an Erlenmeyer flask with a stir
