The experiment did not contain any form of reaction mechanism since no chemical identity had been changed. The lab demonstrates the use of chemical molecular behavior to isolate a particular set of molecules. Caffeine had already existed in the leaf itself but needed to be separated from the other chemicals. Caffeine’s chemical structure is relatively similar to the nucleic acid purine in that they use nitrogen and is bicyclic but lacks an alkene‚ amine and an amide. Caffeine has a solubility of

Edward Dickson CHE101 DS-01 Experiment Date 7/21/2013 Report Submitted 7/21/2013 Title: Experiment #8: Ionic Reactions Purpose: In this lab we will work with aqueous solutions of ionic substances and determine if they are soluble. If the solution appears milky than it is known as a precipitate reaction‚ meaning it is soluble‚ and that the ions separated and became surrounded by water. Precipitates in this experiment are electrically uncharged. To identify which compounds are

Enzymes Reactions to Changes in Substrate and Inhibitors Benjamin J. Mora Coronado University of Texas Rio Grande Valley at Edinburgh Abstract Purpose for the experiments was to test the enzymes in various scenarios and see how changing this would affect the rate of reaction. The enzyme source used in the experiments was Turnip Extract. Concentrations of Turnip extract for activity 1 where o.5ml‚ 1.0ml‚ and 2.0 ml as for the rest of the activities 2 Through 4 stayed at a consistent concentration

From this lab we can learn to observe physical properties of varying substances as well as to use chemical reactions to observe chemical observe the chemical properties of varying substances. In experiment #1‚ we were able to detect physical properties of the aluminum and copper sulfate simply by looking at the substances. We then combined the two substances to see if they would create a chemical reaction and test the chemical properties. After being combined‚ bubbles and gas were created and the

Experiments described were performed by me and/or my lab group and this write-up is entirely my own creative work.” X________________________________________ Introduction Enzymes are protein molecules that speed up the rate of reactions by reducing the activation energy of a reaction. They act as catalysts in reactions‚ increasing the rate at which

Title: Redox Reactions Research Question: Is it possible to determine if a redox reaction took place by using only the equation? Hypothesis: Yes‚ I believe it is possible to determine if this reaction took place by using the oxidation numbers in the equation. Variables: 1. I cleaned the reaction surface to limit contamination 2. I held the chemicals at approximately a 90 degree angle for consistency Introduction: Redox reactions occur when both oxidation and reduction take place. All atoms

anthracene from benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride and 9-anthraldehyde through the reaction mechanism recognized as the Wittig Reaction. The Wittig Reaction allows the chemist to synthesize phosphoranes in the lab with relative ease. A more recent and inexpensive version of the reaction is the Wittig-Horner reaction (1). ABSTRACT Georg Wittig was a German chemist and Nobel Prize winner in 1979 for the Wittig reaction (1). He was born in Berlin‚ on June 16‚ 1897‚ and died August 26‚ 1987 (1). Wittig

Additionally‚ several reactions were performed using various catalysts in different reaction conditions and results are summarized in Table 1. The catalyst free reaction fails to produce selective benzimidazole and conversion of reactants in long reaction time and obtained only 21 % conversion with 13 % selective yield of c after 48 h reaction time (Table I‚ Entry 1).
