esterification reaction that was carried out in this lab is shown in figure 1. It worth mentioning that the by-product of such reaction is water. In organic chemistry‚ the reaction in which water molecule is released is known as condensation reaction (Hornback‚ 2006). Figure1 is drawn using Chem Sketch software. a) b) Figure 1: Typical Fischer esterification reaction (a) in comparison to the specific esterification reaction used in this lab (b) The reaction can also be categorized in terms of

Calorimetry To determine the specific heat of a metal and its approximate atomic mass. To determine the heat of neutralization for a strong acid-strong base reaction. To determine the quantity and direction of heat flow for the dissolution of salt. Post Lab Questions and Answers: 1. In parts A and B in‚ the calorimeter‚ although a good insulator‚ absorbs some heat when the system is above room temperature. Is the reported value for the specific heat of the metal too high or too low? Explain. Is the reported

One density dependent limiting factor is parasitism. This describes organisms that live off a host that can easily pass from one organism to another because they are close together. Parasites are more likely to spread through a population if the population density is high. 1. One density independent limiting factor is natural disasters‚ such as fires‚ floods‚ and tornadoes‚ each of which can wipe out a significant number of a population. 2. Another density dependent limiting factor is competition

there’s the smallest fine textured soil whose aggregates are so small they can’t be seen with the naked eye is known as a clay and holds water very well. We know how these soils hold water by knowing how water holds them also known as their particle density usually corresponding with the particle’s size and surface area. Knowing that we can figure that during this experiment sand will sink first and clay shall be last and also for it to be a‚ silt‚ sandy loam soil due to the look texture and feel of

refraction of light lab used common materials to examine the process of the refraction of light. The title of this lab is exactly what occurs throughout the four different experiments. All four parts of this lab use prior knowledge to observe the complex concept of refraction. Refraction is the bending of a light when it enters a medium where the speed of light is different. When light enters through the glass and water the speed of light becomes decreased. This is due to the density of water being higher

Introduction Chemical kinetics is the study of reaction rates. A reaction rate is the speed of the change in either reactants or products over a period of time. General kinetic rate equation is: Where [A] and [B] are the concentration of the species in the reaction. The variable k is the rate constant‚ which is a function of time and catalyst presence. The variables m and n are the order of reaction for their respective species concentration. The higher the value of the reaction order the
