CHM 3411 – Problem Set 6 Due date: Wednesday‚ March 23rd. Do all of the following problems. Show your work. 1) Consider the cyclic molecule C8H8‚ the eight carbon analogue to benzene. a) Write the secular detrerminant corresponding to the pi-bonding in C8H8. b) Using the secular determinant‚ the following energies are found for the pi-bonding molecular orbitals: 1 = + 2 2 = + 1.41 (two states) 3 = (two states) 4 = - 1.41 (two states) 5 = - 2 Give the electron

Questions and Hypothesis: Seed germination‚ plant growth‚ and sprouting of leaves are affected by several factors: supply of nutrients‚ water‚ exposure to sunlight‚ and conditions of surroundings. Due to certain stimuli in the surroundings plant “hormones” cause plants to behave in ways that ensure the most efficient use of resources while preserving the most energy. One stimulus to consider‚ is the exposure of plants to sunlight; when plants are just sprouting and are underground‚ the sti

CHM151LL Laboratory Report Form Fall 2011 Title: Project 5: SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF A PENNY Date Run: 04/03/2012 Date Submitted: 04/15/2012 Grade: _____________________ Objectives: The purpose of this experiment is to use spectrophotometry to determine the percentage of copper in a copper-clad penny‚ and to determine the thickness of copper layer on the copper-clad penny. Introduction: In the spectrophotometric analysis of a penny lab‚ we will be conducting three

to achieve this objective were also hot vacuum filtration in order to remove suspended solid impurities‚ and isolating the pure acetanilide. In the next lab‚ percent recovered was obtained through weighing the acetanilide sample as well as comparing its melting point range. In this experiment‚ the sample‚ acetanilide was weighted to be 1.523 grams. The sample appeared to be a pale mixture of brown flakes before it was crushed into small flakes. When boiling the sample with 25 mL of water over the

successfully synthesis the reactant to the product‚ NaBH4 was used as the main reagent to reduce the carbonyl double bond. One believes the formation of isoborneol was successfully due to the product’s percent yield‚ IR‚ and melting point. During the lab‚ .077 grams of isoborneol was yielded from the camphor reduction. In result‚ .077 g compared to an theoretical yield of .102 g equaled an overall 75% percentage yield. Considering the product yield was only a quarter shy of a 100% yield‚ provides strong evidence

not exist (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). They help in many different ways that are useful to the body of living organisms. Enzyme are used to speed up chemical reactions (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). Through this process‚ they are considered very unique because they are not altered or consumed within the reaction (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). This is why enzymes are considered biological catalysts. They also do not alter the equilibrium of a chemical reaction nor the amount of free energy that is released (Lab Manual 3 pg

interface Non-linear springy objects (rubber bands) Two rectangular weights of ~0.5 kg each to change the mass of the system Procedure: The lab experiment was done in two parts. Part 1 of the experiment was done by 2 different methods. Method 1 was with a force sensor‚ springs‚ and a weight hanger in which masses of 100 gram increments were added (up to 600 grams). A force vs. displacement graph was created and the slope of the graph was recorded. By method 2 the force sensor was tare with a 1 kilogram

Abstract In this lab we separated components of a simulated preparation‚ panacetin and making use of its acid base properties. To obtain such a pure compound‚ the compound we want must be separated from its other natural components‚ which can be done by manipulating physical and chemical properties. Panacetin contains sucrose‚ aspirin and an unknown which can be acetanilide or phenacetin in which phenacetin was created and weighed. Introduction In this lab our basic goal was to make the

We then stirred it until all the solutions were completely mixed. When this happened the borax and water turned into a watery green solution. then we added 15ml of glue in the cup labeled ‘Ball mixture’ and added the mixture we made
