Nikki Vietz Ms Bontekoe Honors English 11 3 October 2013 Synthesis Essay By changing the word “nigger” to “slave” defeats the purpose of the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn being a historical piece of literature. Such a change means ignoring the past and the word “nigger” is part of that past. “Nigger” is demeaning and insulting but is its replacement any less demeaning and insulting. Changing the word would not only destroy the message that Mark Twain was trying to convey‚ but also America’s history

used in testing were all functional groups‚ Aldehyde‚ Ketone‚ Alcohol and‚ Ester. Functional groups are a portion of a molecule that give the molecules its properties‚ they are the centers of chemical reactivity. The structures of the functional groups used in testing are displayed in Figure 1.0. Figure 1.0 Structure of Functional Groups to Distinguish from Within the

EXP-10 CHEM 233L SYNTHESIS OF p-BROMOANILINE Introduction: In this experiment‚ p-bromoaniline was synthesized in three steps starting from aniline. Since the amino group of aniline is a strong activator of aromatic ring‚ direct bromination is impractical (equation 1). In order to make a desired product‚ amino group needed to be protected as the acetamide which also maintained ortho and para position but slowed down the rate of reaction (equation 2). Slow reaction rate would increase

Prelab 5B Macrocyclic Synthesis OBJECTIVE: The objective this week is to produce Tetraphenylporphyrin and its metal complex. This will be carried out by condensation of 4 equivalents of Benzaldehyde and pyyrole in the presence of propanoic acid. The product will undergo UV/Visible Spectrum tests to determine its lambda max. The lambda max will show us the relationship between a conjugated system and the visible spectrum. PROCEDURE: Step 1: preparation of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP)

The objective of this experiment was the synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate using an esterification reaction between acetic acid and Isopentyl Alcohol‚ using a strong acid as a catalyst. The product was washed‚ and distilled. This approach is called Fisher esterification‚ whereby esters are produced by the esterification of a Carboxylic acid where it is heated with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid which acts as a catalyst. The ester produced had a banana flavor. The extraction of the

Synthesis With all the foreigners crossing the borders of the United States‚ America is considered to be a nation of immigrants. The United States has all kinds of immigrants who decide to relocate to America in order to pursue better opportunities for themselves than what they could find in their own country. Once the immigrants make it passed American borders‚ they begin living the "American way"‚ and doing what they think will help lead to a positive movement within the community. What the

Synthesis Essay Reactions to death and tragedy range depending on the cause and effect of the situation. People react differently to every situation‚ but with tragedy and death‚ a common reactions can range from anger to depression to fear. All of these can be authentic responses‚ but the question is whether these reactions are appropriate. In circumstances of tragedy and death‚ emotional responses are appropriate when they are authentic and additionally evoke action. In times of death and tragedy

Experiment 8: Synthesis of Adipic Acid Performed November 8th & 10th By Jennifer Seitz Organic Chemistry 344 Section 803 Fall 2011 Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize adipic acid from cyclohexanol via an oxidation reaction that was catalyzed by sulfuric acid. Purity of the product was assessed by measuring the melting point. Physical Properties/Structures: Name | Formula | Molecular Weight (g/mol) | Boiling Point (0C) | Melting Point(0C) | Density(g/mL)

Synthesis of Methyl Stearate The purpose of this lab was the convert liquid methyl oleate to solid methyl stearate by catalytic hydrogenation. Firstly‚ we produced hydrogen gas using solid mossy zinc and sulfuric acid. Using the hydrogen produced in the previous reaction‚ we were able to convert the liquid methyl oleate to solid crystals of methyl stearate. A mineral oil was also used to bubbler was used to maintain the hydrogen pressure slightly above the atmospheric pressure and to prevent back-diffusion

Synthesis Paper Introduction Exercise can be very challenging to commit to. As a young adult my ideas and hopes were to always begin and maintain a routine that would help me to stay active and healthy. I regretfully report that I have not yet committed to this effort. In high school‚ I ran with the track team and was faithful the Reserve Officer Training Corps which helped me to stay in shape and remain fit with much effort. This was just a part of my life and I enjoyed it
